Lebanese Chicken and Rice
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 4 ounces diced onion
  • 12 ounces ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups long grain rice
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, which is equivalent to 190 degrees Celsius.
2
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a substantial, heat-resistant skillet that is suitable for oven use over high heat. Sear chicken breasts on both sides until they acquire a golden hue, taking approximately 5 minutes per side. Set the chicken breasts aside for later use. Introduce an onion and ground beef into the skillet; cook until the onions begin to develop a rich brown color, taking around 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for a brief period of 1 to 2 minutes. Add a blend of warm spices, including cinnamon, allspice, salt, and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir the mixture for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3
Gradually incorporate cooked rice into the skillet, ensuring it is fully coated with oil and spices. Position the chicken breasts on top of the rice and pour in a sufficient amount of broth. Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil to create a self-contained cooking environment.
4
Bake the skillet in the preheated oven until the rice has fully absorbed all liquid, taking approximately 20 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before presenting it as a finished dish.
