Ingredients

  • Chicken
  • 1 large chicken
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Tomato pilaf
  • 2 cups of basmati rice
  • 500g ripe tomatoes, peeled
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

Chicken

1

Rub the chicken with a mixture of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place it breast-side down in a roasting pan to prevent the breasts from drying down.

2

Roast for 1 hour in an oven pre-heated to 200ºC, then turn the chicken and cook for about 30 min, until it's well cooked.

Tomato pilaf

3

Wash the rice with cold water until the water runs clear.

4

Quarter the tomatoes and then place them in a blender. Blend. Pour into a pan, add then add the chicken broth, sugar and salt, and pepper and bring to a boil.

5

Add the rice and stir well. Simmer, covered, over low heat, for 18 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid well absorbed.

6

Once the rice is over and the chicken is roasted, chose a plate and place the rice first and then the roasted chicken. You can sprinkle with some parsley and serve with a salad.

Notes

If you do not have chicken broth then just use water (500ml) and a chicken or veggie cube.
