One-Pot Chipotle Chicken & Rice Juicy, smoky chipotle chicken cooked over flavorful, fluffy basmati rice—all in one pot! Ingredients For the Chicken * 6 boneless, skinless chicken pieces * ½ can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce * 1 tsp paprika * 1 tsp dried oregano * 1 tsp cumin * 1 tsp onion powder * 1 tsp garlic powder * 1 tsp chicken bouillon * 1 tsp black pepper * Splash of lemon juice * 1–2 tbsp oil, for searing For the Rice * 1 medium onion, chopped * 4 cloves garlic, chopped * 1 small bell pepper, diced * 1 large carrot, diced * 2 tbsp herb butter * Curry powder, to taste * Dried thyme, to taste * 2 cups Golden Sella basmati rice, rinsed * 2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce * 1 tbsp chicken bouillon * 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth Instructions 1. Season the chicken: Add the chicken, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, paprika, oregano, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, chicken bouillon, black pepper, and lemon juice to a bowl. Mix well and let marinate for at least 15–30 minutes. 2. Sear the chicken: Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for a few minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside. The chicken doesn’t need to be fully cooked yet. 3. Build the flavor: In the same pot, add the herb butter, followed by the chopped onion, garlic, bell pepper, and carrot. Sauté until the vegetables begin to soften. 4. Add curry powder, thyme, and 2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Stir and cook for another minute. 5. Add the rice: Stir in the rinsed basmati rice and chicken bouillon, making sure the rice is coated in the flavorful mixture. 6. Pour in the chicken broth and stir gently. Taste the liquid and adjust seasoning if needed. 7. Add the chicken back: Nestle the seared chicken pieces into the rice. Bring everything to a gentle simmer. 8. Cover tightly, reduce the heat to low, and cook for about 20–25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is fully cooked. 9. Turn off the heat and let the pot rest, covered, for 5–10 minutes. Fluff the rice gently with a fork and serve. #creatorsearchinsights #EasyRecipe #onepotmeals #riceandchicken
