Ingredients

1-1/2 cup basmati rice

3 cups water (or make 1 cup of the three chicken broth)

3/4 pound of raw boneless breast of chicken, cut up into 1" sized bites

1 large onion - diced

1 cup carrots - shredded fresh carrots (roughly 4-5 carrots)

3 cloves garlic - minced

1 bunch of large cilantro - rinsed well

4-5 scallions minced

1 teaspoon cumin

1-1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

****Equipment Needed:

One Pot with lid, 2 paper towels and hungry crowd

Directions

In Pot, pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil and put heat under pan on medium.

Add diced onions and let sweat for at least 5 minutes.

Once onions are almost translucent, add chicken and with wood spatula (preferred) stir chicken around pot till almost cooked and no longer looking pink. Add the second tablespoon of olive oil if you have to.

Add garlic and cook for one minute more.

Add rice (no water yet) and all remaining seasons - leaving some of the scallions and chopped cilantro for plating.

Stir rice well into mixture making sure it is well coated with the olive oil and seasonings.

Cook for two minutes, stirring the whole time.

Next add your water and/or broth. Do not stir!

Let come to a boil, then turn down heat till on very low.

Place lid on top and set time for 10 minutes.

After ten minutes, with a spoon, gently push rice aside and check on water - has all water evaporated? - Then move onto next step. If not, let cook a few minutes moire, till all the water has evaporated.

OK, take those 2 paper towels folding them over in half and place on top of pot, just under lid. Put lid back on pot over paper towels.

This will allow any extra steam to be soaked up by the paper towels.

Let sit for five minutes and call troops to the table.

When ready, fluff mixture with fork.

When serving and plating add the additional cilantro and minced scallions on top of dish and serve. Enjoy with a side mixed green salad!

This sounds good. I love cilantro. I'm going away for the weekend but have some chicken tenders I need to cook so I will make it up to the step before you add the rice and will finish the recipe on Sunday night. Thanks and by the way all your dishes look so beautiful and sound delicious! Sandy

I made your One Pot Cilantro Chicken Recipe. I made the recipe all the way through and will save it in the refrigerator for Sunday night dinner. It is absolutely delicious. I can't believe it has so much flavor for such a few ingredients. I gave it a five and highly recommend it. Thank You! Sandy P.S. I may sneak a little portion for lunch right now!.

I made this the other day. It was great. It made enough so I had it for lunch a couple days. If I make it again I will use a little less cilantro and maybe add a little something spicy to zip it up a bit. Otherwise it was fabulous!!
