Ingredients

  • 500 grams Pilaf Rice
  • 2 teaspoons Freshly Chopped Parsley
  • 4 teaspoons Olive Oil, Divided
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1000 milliliters Water
  • 1  Small Red Onion, Chopped
  • 2  Medium Chicken Legs

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).

In an ovenproof dish, add rice, parsley, 1 teaspoon of olive oil and salt. Stir well and cover with water. Bake for about 20 minutes.

In the meantime, in a large frying pan, add remaining 3 teaspoons (1 tablespoon) olive oil and chopped onion. Cook over medium heat until translucent. Add chicken and cook for 5 minutes on each side. Remove from heat.

Add chicken legs with onions to the rice (stir a little bit). Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes on 390°C (200°C) until rice absorbs all the water and creates a golden brown layer on top.

Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
