      Selamat berhujung minggu  untuk semua kawan-kawan. Bila cuti mestilah kita dah fikir nak masak apa kan. Sebenarnya Wa dah lamaaa sangat teringin nak masak western style , nasi dan ayam dimasak sekali.So , hari Jumaat tu dah mula mengoogle resepi. Jumpa lah satu blog ni..nampak macam best sangat resepi yang dia masak tu, bila baca komen lak ..semua yang dah try cakap sedap.kebetulan lak semua bahan-bahan dah ada kat rumah.

      So semalam Sabtu..Wa mulalah cuba resepi ni..walaupun pada mulanya tak berapa confident .

Cuma patutnya ayam tu kena perap semalam ..tapi balik kerja dah penat..sampai rumah pun dah pukul 7 lebih..itu yang malas nak perap malam tu.

So nilah resepi yang Wa guna. Asalnya resepi dari sini.

ONE POT GREEK CHICKEN & LEMON RICE

INGREDIENTS

Chicken and Marinade

• 5 chicken thighs, skin on, bone in (Note 1)
• 1 - 2 lemons, zest + 4 tbsp lemon juice (Note 7)
• 1 tbsp dried oregano
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp salt

Rice

• 1½ tbsp olive oil, separated
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 1 cup long grain rice (Wa guna 2 1 setengah pot beras- guna beras Wangi Jasmin yang pack Pink)
• 1½ cups chicken broth / stock( Wa guna 2 chicken kiub Knoor)
• ¾ cup water ( Yang ni ..letak air sampai beras tu tenggelamdan lebihkan sikit air)
• 1 tbsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp salt
• Black pepper

Garnish

• Finely chopped parsley or oregano (optional)
• Fresh lemon zest (highly recommended)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine the Chicken and Marinade ingredients in a ziplock bag and set aside for at least 20 minutes but preferably overnight.

To Cook

1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
2. Remove chicken from marinade, but reserve the Marinade.
3. Heat ½ tbsp olive oil in a deep, heavy based skillet (Note 2) over medium high heat.
4. Place the chicken in the skillet, skin side down, and cook until golden brown, then turn and cook the other side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
5. Pour off fat and wipe the pan with a scrunched up ball of paper towel (to remove black bits), then return to the stove.
6. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in the skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion and sauté for a few minutes until translucent. Then add the remaining Rice ingredients and reserved Marinade.
7. Let the liquid come to a simmer and let it simmer for 30 seconds. Place the chicken on top then place a lid on the skillet (Note 3). Bake in the oven for 35 minutes. Then remove the lid and bake for a further 10 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender (so 45 minutes in total).
8. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving, garnished with parsley or oregano and fresh lemon zest, if desired.
