Arroz de galinha brings together rice and chicken in a single cooking process. This version uses boneless thigh meat to define the edible quantity.

Ingredients

600 g raw chicken thigh meat, skinless and boneless
300 g dry white rice
350 g tomatoes
150 g onion
12 g garlic
25 g olive oil
950 ml water
5 g salt
1 g black pepper
15 g parsley

Preparation

Cut the chicken into 3 cm pieces. Use a separate cutting board from those used for ready-to-eat ingredients.

Sauté the onion in oil for 5 minutes, then add the garlic and chicken. Turn the pieces to brown them.

Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, and water. Simmer for 15 minutes.

Add the rice and cook over low heat for about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the product. The chicken should reach 74 °C internal temperature and the rice should be tender.

Let rest for 5 minutes off the heat, then add the parsley and serve.
