For the Rice For the chicken For the Broth:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add all of the whole spices to a heavy stock pot with.
|
|
Add the 4 cups of chicken stock to the spices. Bring to a boil and cover with a tight lid. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let this simmer on the stove for about 1 hour. This will release all those yummy fragrant oils from the spices.
|
|
After an hour of simmering, strain out the liquid and toss the spices. The broth will smell so fragrant.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OK onto the chicken! Squeeze the juice from the lime over the chicken and rinse with cold water, drain. This process takes the sliminess and gaminess out of the poultry.
|
|
In a food processor add the garlic, ginger, chili peppers, cilantro, rosemary, oregano and thyme. Mince this to a fine paste.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is your green seasoning that you just ground.
|
|
|
|
Add the green seasoning, and the dry spices like the sat, black pepper and ground clove to the chicken and mix well being sure al pieces are evenly coated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set aside in the refrigerator to marinate for an hour.
|
|
Next we are going to get all the veggies and fresh herbs ready for the rice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Chop all the herbs, with the onion, sweet pepper, chili celery and the grated ginger and garlic.
|
|
Now that we are prepped...heat a little cooking oil in a pot that can go into the oven. When hot, add the chicken pieces to brown. You may have to do this in two sets as they may not all fit at the same time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Browning the chicken helps to pre-cook the chicken and to give it a nice color, after all we eat with our eyes first!
|
|
After all the chicken has been browned, set it aside in a plate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will want to pre-heat your oven to 350 at this time. You are now going to add your onions, garlic, ginger and chili pepper to the same pot that you just browned your chicken in.
|
|
Sauté until fragrant...and the onions are translucent
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At this point you are going to add the rice and stir together for about 1 minute. Add salt and black pepper.
|
|
Now we are going to layer the chicken over the rice as show above.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add on top of the chicken the peas, celery, red bell pepper and the chopped up green herbs.
|
|
Next we are going to add the 4 cups of chicken broth just over everything. Do not stir. Just leave as is. You are going to bring this to a boil.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After it comes to a boil on the stove you are going to cover with a tight lid. Place in the oven for 45 minutes. Do not raise the heat in the oven or remove the cover during the baking process. Or you will release the heat which will cook the chicken and the rice.
|
|
This is your finished product! Garnish with the chives...Enjoy!
