Sin, you can't go wrong with chicken and rice dishes.
Spanish rice/chicken
Mustard chicken/rice
Curry chicken/rice
Peanut butter chicken/rice
I usually brown onions, and then dump the chicken and other ingredients into a slow cooker. The rice goes in two hours before it's done.
You can also steam the rice, and then add it to any chicken dish you cook in the oven, or on the stovetop.
Peanut chicken recipe:
4 chicken breasts
3TBLs peanut oil (45ml)
Garlic clove
1(5ml) tsp chopped fresh thyme or !/2 dried
1(15ml) Tbls curry powder
Juice of half a lemon
1 onion chopped
2 tomatoes
1 green chili
4(60ml) TBLS peanut butter
3(300g) cups boiling chicken stock
1 !/2 cups uncooked rice
s/p
lemon wedges
mix 1 T oil, garlic, thyme, curry powder, and lemon juice. Put cubed, or strips of chicken in merinade in fridge while you prepare the rest.
Brown onion in remaining oil. Stick onion, tomatoes, and chili into slow cooker on high.
Add the peanut butter slowly to the boiling stock.
Add to slow cooker, and let cook for an hour. I've used canned maters, and even canned diced chilis if I didn't have any fresh stuff on hand. I've even used red bell peppers at times.
After an hour, add the chicken. add s/p Cook another hour.
Add the rice, and let cook for an hour or two.
Squeeze some lemon, and add some fresh parsley if you want.
