Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
8 whole chicken thighs
2 onions peeled, chopped
1 red pepper deseeded, sliced
3 garlic cloves peeled, sliced
200 g brown basmati rice
2 tsp smoked paprika
500 ml hot gluten-free chicken stock
2 tbsp clear honey
25 g flat-leaf parsley roughly chopped

Instructions

Heat the oil in a flameproof casserole dish and cook the chicken for 5 minutes until golden. Remove the chicken and set aside. Add the onion and pepper to the pan, then cook gently for about 5 minutes until starting to soften. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
Stir in the rice and paprika, then add the stock and bring to the boil. Place the chicken on top and drizzle over the honey. Cover the pan and simmer gently for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is cooked through with no pink meat and the rice is tender. Sprinkle over the parsley, then serve.
TIP: Try adding some chunks of gluten-free chorizo in with the rice.
