Tj Meals: One Pan chicken Shawarma Rice

---

ingredients

• 3 tbs neutral oil, I used grapeseed
• 1 bag Tj's chicken shawarma marinated chicken thighs
• 1 white or yellow onion
• 1.5 cups white rice (don't use jasmine)
• 5 cloves of garlic
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• 1 tbs curry powder
  
• 1 pinch of red pepper flakes
• 1 can coconut milk
• 1 quart of chicken broth
• minced green onion
• 1 handful of chopped white mushrooms
• lime wedges

Instructions

1. Add the oil to a cast iron pan and add your marinated chicken thighs. Cook them till they're done, mine took about 10 min for the smaller pieces and 15 for the larger. 
2. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it sit while you cook the rice. Letting protein sit after you've cooked it helps make it super tender and juicy.
3. Chop your onion and mince your garlic. Add it to the remaining seasoned oil with the garlic salt curry powder, and red pepper flakes. Cook the onions for about 5 min until soft and fragrant. Add 1.5 cups rinsed rice and sauté for another minute or two stirring. 
4. Add your coconut milk and chicken broth, stir, bring to a simmer, and let cook for 15 min, most of the liquid should be absorbed.
5. Chop your chicken.
6. After 15 min add your chicken and mushrooms, continue to cook stirring occasionally for 5 more min.
7. Add your green onions and serve with lime juice, I really like the element the acid adds!
