Ingredients
For the Dish:
3 onions (finely chopped)
500 g (18 oz) rice
3 red bell peppers (sliced)
12 chicken legs
10 g (0.4 oz) salt (to taste)
5 g (0.2 oz) black pepper (to taste)
5 g (0.2 oz) garlic powder
5 g (0.2 oz) sweet paprika
300 ml (10 fl oz) cooking cream
400 ml (14 fl oz) chicken broth
50 g (1.8 oz) green onion (finely chopped, for garnish)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Season the chicken legs: Start by patting the chicken legs dry with a paper towel. Season them with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and sweet paprika on both sides. Rub the seasoning into the chicken to ensure even flavor.
Sear the chicken: In a large pan or skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chicken legs to the hot pan and sear them until they are golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Vegetables
Sauté the onions: In the same pan, add the finely chopped onions and cook them over medium heat until they are softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
