How long can I store the leftovers?

Creamy Chicken and Rice keeps well in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days in an airtight container. When reheating, the rice tends to absorb the remaining stock, so add a little hot water or stock to restore a soft, pleasant texture. Freezing this dish is not recommended, as the rice texture may be altered upon thawing.

Can I prepare it without chicken stock?

Yes, you can substitute the chicken stock with vegetable stock or even just water. However, the flavour will be less rich. If you use water, be sure to add a stock cube or significantly build up the aromatic base (onion, garlic, spices) to compensate and add depth.

Elaboration

1 - Ingredient Prep
Start by preparing all the ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process: Dice the peppers, tomato, and onion. Grate the garlic. Measure the Peacock Thai Jasmine Rice and peas. Dice the chicken pieces. This organisation allows you to move through the steps without interruption.
2 - Initial Chicken Searing
In a large pot, heat the oil. Add the chicken pieces and cook over medium heat until they are lightly golden. Next, add the grated garlic and the bay leaf, and simmer for a few minutes to flavour the base of the dish.
3 - Aromatic Vegetable Sauté
Add the sliced onion and cook until translucent. Incorporate the red and yellow diced peppers, along with the diced tomato. Mix well so all the ingredients soak up the chicken juices.
4 - Seasoning the Dish
Add the spices: ginger, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Stir to distribute the flavours evenly. This spice blend will give the dish a warm colour and a delicious, earthy fragrance.
5 - Cooking the Rice
Pour the Peacock Thai Jasmine Rice into the pot along with the peas, then mix gently. Add the hot chicken stock until all ingredients are covered. Cover the pot and let it cook over low heat for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the rice is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed, leaving a creamy texture.
6 - Presentation and Serving
Remove the pot from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Ladle into deep bowls or a large family platter. For a finishing touch, you can add a drizzle of olive oil or some fresh coriander/parsley. Enjoy your warm Creamy Chicken and Rice with family or friends.
