Mediterranean Chicken and Rice: One-Pan Delight
A Taste of the Mediterranean at Home
This Mediterranean-inspired dish combines the convenience of one-pan cooking with delightful flavours. Begin by marinating six skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice and zest, plain yogurt, Dijon Mustard, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. This marinade infuses the chicken with a burst of citrus and savoury herbs, setting the stage for a flavourful meal.
Bone-in chicken thighs are a culinary gem that can elevate a one-pan dish to new heights of flavour. These thighs are prized for their succulence and rich taste, thanks in part to the bone they contain. The bone not only adds depth and complexity to the meat's flavour but also helps retain moisture during cooking. This means that as the chicken cooks in the one-pan recipe, the bone-in thighs remain tender, juicy, and incredibly flavourful.
The result is a visually appealing and mouthwatering one-pan dish, perfect for a satisfying dinner that combines the vibrant tastes of the Mediterranean.
