Kirk's Cooking and Cocktails

1 If needed, trim your chicken thighs or halve your chicken breasts (so they mix in the rice better).
2 In a bowl, add all of the ingredients for the marinade and mix them up well.
3 In a ziploc bag, add the chicken and pour over the marinade. Shake it well and let them marinate for at least 4 hours. (Although the full workday is best!)
4 Once ready to cook, heat an oven-safe skillet and add a little oil.
5 Sear the chicken for 3 minutes per side and then remove.
6 Add a little oil and cook the shallot for a few minutes.
7 Then add the garlic and the uncooked rice.
8 Stir in the tomato paste.
9 Add the tomatoes and chicken broth.
10 Season with salt and pepper as needed, stir, and bring to a simmer. Add back the chicken, cover, and bake at 350° for 30 minutes.
11 Enjoy!
