Easiest One Pot you'll ever make


So for the very first recipe on this blog I will choose a very easy, simple one. 

This recipe comes from the annuals of my wife's childhood. It is a great Sabbath dish as you can leave it in the oven for hours. Also the simplicity (4 ingredients),the nutritional value (packed full of healthy fats, proteins and essential vitamins and minerals) and cheapness (on tesco's website I priced it all up to £2.75) makes this a dish a great additional to your diet.





The recipe that follows is good for two hungry people like my wife and I or for 3 normal stomachs. In a averaged sized crockery pot, you can get up to 6 thighs cooking in there, just multiply the recipe accordingly. 



For it you will need:-
200g Porridge Rice (Short grain rice, what you use for rice pudding, also risotto or sushi rice will do)
2-3 Chicken Thighs (You can use other parts like drumsticks or even a whole chicken)
Stock cube
250ml water

Turn your oven on and heat it to 125oc. In a crockery pot (or casserole tin or oven dish) put in your rice, crumble a stock cube over it and then pour water over it all.

Layer your chicken over that and then put the lid on (or cover with tin foil). Put in the oven and cook for 4 hours. If you are going to be out longer than that, reduce the temperature to 100oC and cook for 5-6 hours.

When serving have a spare bowl so you can put all the bones in it without cluttering up your own bowl. Sometimes the rice needs some extra seasoning. It is great on its own but you can serve it with bread and salad.

  1. In our (childhood) household that spare bowl for bones was called "the cruise ship".. [for fairly obvious reasons, the bowl "cruising" around the table picking up everyone's bones..] :D
