Oven Baked Chicken and Rice

This is a recipe I got inspired by on a little 15 second clip on instagram and thought why not recreate the dish. Firstly I always use a rice cooker so to cook rice in the oven was a whole new experience for me. So lets get started peeps. This recipe serves 2.

Ingredients

- 2 x chicken pieces
- tomato puree
- garlic
- mixed herbs
- all purpose seasoning
- cumin
- rice
- parsley
- oil
- lemon juice
- Cumin

1. Wash your chicken pieces well and remove any little hair.  Place your chicken in a bowl and season with one big spoon of tomato puree, 2 crushed garlic pieces, one teaspoon of mixed herbs and purpose seasoning. Leave to marinate in the fridge for an hour or two.

2. Wash one cup rice and allow to soak in water the same duration you allow the chicken to marinate.

3. Place your rice in an oven proof dish preferably a medium sized one. Pour in a cup of water (make sure the water is 1cm above the rice. Add a spoon of oil, cumin and lemon juice. Add two spoons of parsley. And a dash of cumin.

4. Place a grill tray above the rice and place the chicken on top allowing the juices of the chicken to also season the rice.

5. -Cook for 40 mins at 140c. When the rice is nice and fluffy and the chicken cooked all the way through. Serve with salad and enjoy.
