Chef Tips

- Sear the chicken in small cubes over medium-high heat without stirring constantly to create a crust without releasing too much water. - Sauté the raw rice with the vegetables for two minutes before pouring the water to seal the outer film of the grains. - Lower the flame to the minimum and do not stir the rice after covering the pan so as not to break the grains or release excess starch.

Variations

- Add a teaspoon of turmeric at the moment of sautéing the garlic to confer an intense yellow color to the rice. - Add half a cup of seeded chopped tomatoes along with the carrot to enrich the broth. - Finish the dish with fresh chopped parsley and chives after the 5 minutes of resting before fluffing the rice with a fork.

Substitutions

- The chicken breast can be replaced by boneless chicken thighs in cubes, which have a higher moisture content, or pork loin. - Grated carrot can be swapped for grated zucchini or small deseeded yellow bell pepper cubes. - Fresh or frozen peas can be replaced with drained canned green corn or chopped green beans.

How to Store

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat on the stove or microwave, sprinkle two tablespoons of water over the portion and heat covered to return the moisture of the grains.

Can You Freeze It?

It can be frozen in individual portions in sealed containers for up to 2 months. Thaw directly in the microwave on medium power or heat over low heat adding a splash of water to the pan.

What to Serve With

Por ser uma refeição completa de panela só, combina perfeitamente com salada fresca de folhas com tomate cereja, feijão carioca recém-cozido e fatias de banana frita ou fatias de abacate temperado.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should the water added to the rice be hot or cold?

Prefer to add already boiling water to maintain the cooking temperature and accelerate initial evaporation without making the grains mushy.

Can I use frozen peas in this recipe?

Yes, frozen peas can be added directly to the pan with the carrots without the need for prior thawing.

How to make the chicken not dry in the rice?

Cut the chicken breast into medium cubes and only sear the outside, as it will finish cooking gently in the rice water.

What to do if the water dries up and the rice is still hard?

Add a quarter cup of boiling water around the edges of the pan, cover immediately, and let cook for another 3 minutes on minimum heat.
