Looking for an tasty, yet filling meal that almost cooks itself? With minimal prep work, this One Pot Chicken and Rice Dinner covers it all for dinner.
Ingredients
  • 6-8 Chicken Legs (about 2 pounds total)
  • Seasoned Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • 2-3 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 Package Fresh Spinach
  • 1 Yellow Onion, finely chopped
  • 2 Large Carrots (I used frozen, about 1½ c), rough chopped
  • 1½ cups Converted Rice (Uncle Ben's or Zatarain's)
  • 2¾ cups Chicken Broth OR 2¾ c water and 2-3 tsp Chicken Bouillon
  • 1-2 Tbs Cooking Oil (optional)
Instructions
  1. Season chicken with seasoned salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
  2. Heat a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high.
  3. Add chicken, skin side down, and cook until browned on both sides, about 12 minutes, turning once. Cooking oil may be added to the pot if desired to help brown the chicken. It will probably help keep it from sticking and/or burning as easily.
  4. Remove chicken from the pot.
  5. Reduce heat to medium.
  6. Add onion and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes.
  7. Add spinach and rice; cook 1 minute.
  8. Add broth (or water and bouillon) and bring to a rapid simmer.
  9. Reduce to a simmer.
  10. Place chicken, skin side up, on top of rice mixture and cook, covered, until chicken is cooked through and liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes.
  11. Remove from heat and let sit, 5 minutes.
