Bills Peruvian Chicken and Rice Recipe

  • Peruvian Chicken:
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon chile powder
  • 2 onions, diced
  • 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, diced
  • Peruvian Rice:
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup basmati rice, rinsed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. Mix vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons garlic, paprika, 1 tablespoon cumin, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and chile powder in a large bowl. Add onions and chicken; stir to coat.
  3. Transfer chicken mixture to a casserole dish.
  4. Roast in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  5. Combine chicken broth, basmati rice, 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  6. Bring a small pot of water to a boil; add frozen peas. Cook and stir until bright green, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir peas into the rice. Serve rice alongside chicken.
