“One pot meals like this delicious one pot chicken and rice are always a win. So easy to make and the clean up afterwards is so fast!”

What you will need

• Chicken. I used chicken legs, both the thigh and the drumstick with skin and bone on. You can make this meal with boneless and skinless chicken thighs as well. This is up to you. But personally I find that the final dish is more delicious with whole chicken legs.
• Rice. I used long grain brown rice for this recipe. But you can use white long grain rice if this is what you have on hand. I would not recommend using short grain, Arborio or basmati of any kind for this recipe. Make sure that you use a good quality rice as it could get mushy and nobody likes mushy rice!
• Vegetables. I used peppers, onions, garlic and carrots. By all means though, use what you have on hand. Cauliflower and zucchini are great as well.
• Pantry staples. Passata or tomato puree, oregano, pepper.
• Chicken stock or water.
