Recipe: Creamy Tuscan Chicken and Rice (gluten-free) 🥣

Serves: 4
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes

INGREDIENTS

Chicken:
4-5 chicken thigh fillets
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Italian herbs
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper

Rice:
1 ½ cups basmati rice, rinsed
1 onion, diced
¾ cup (150g) semi-sun-dried tomatoes
3 cups (120g) baby spinach
1 teaspoon sea salt
300ml fresh cream or 270ml coconut milk
600ml chicken or vegetable broth
¼ cup parmesan cheese

Garnish:
Basil
Lemon juice
Parmesan cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a wide pan over medium heat. Add the chicken fillets and sear for about 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Season the chicken directly in the pan with Italian herbs, sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, and pepper. Once golden, remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside on a plate.

Prepare the Rice: In the same pan, sauté the onion with the sea salt for about 2 minutes until softened. Stir in the semi-sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute. Add the rice and stir to coat it in the flavourful mixture.

Add the Broth and Cream: Pour in the chicken broth and cream (or coconut milk). Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to combine. Once boiling, add the spinach at this point and gently stir it through until it starts to wilt. Nestle the chicken fillets back into the pan and sprinkle over the parmesan cheese.

Cook: Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to a low simmer, and cook for 10 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Check occasionally to ensure the rice doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.

Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh basil, a good squeeze of lemon juice, and extra parmesan cheese. Serve and enjoy!
