I should just have one pan rice dinner queen engraved on my stone. Not head stone… just a stone I own. I’d respect it though.

Ingredients

• 2 kg boneless chicken thighs
• 1.5 tablespoons Old Bay spice mix
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large brown onion, finely chopped
• 5 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
• 2 cobs of corn, kernels removed
• 2 zucchinis, grated
• 1.5 cups jasmine rice
• 1.5-2 cups chicken stock
• Handful of basil leaves, roughly chopped
• 500 g green beans, trimmed
• Vinaigrette Base:
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• Juice of 2 lemons
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (fan forced).
2. In a large bowl, marinate chicken thighs with Old Bay spice mix and olive oil. Let it come to room temperature.
3. Using a stove-top proof deep baking dish, brown chicken in batches for about 5 minutes on one side. Flip briefly to seal the underside. Golden side should be facing up.
4. In the same pan, sauté finely chopped onion for 3 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
5. Add corn kernels and grated zucchinis. Sauté until softened and beginning to brown.
6. Add jasmine rice, stirring well to coat.
7. In a jar, combine crushed garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Shake well and pour into the pan.
8. Stir in chicken stock. Once combined, add roughly chopped basil leaves and simmer for about 10mins until the liquid has begun to absorb and cook the rice. Turn off the heat.
9. Place chicken thighs on top with the golden side facing upwards.
10. Roast for 20 minutes until the rice is cooked, and the chicken is just cooked through.
11. While roasting, blanch trimmed green beans and toss with butter salt and pepper.
