One Pot Chicken Meal

While visiting friends in Rundu we ate a delicious one pot chicken meal - prepared by a Bachelor!  He put raw rice, frozen chicken and salt and pepper into a pot, on the gas stove; brought it to boil; removed the pot and wrapped it in his sleeping bag and duvet for 4 hours.  That was it - deliciously cooked thru chicken, and very tasty, moist rice.
So, on returning home I thought I'd try a version of this - I put a layer of dry rice in an oven dish, a bit of course salt too.  On top of this I layered the chicken pieces.  To close up any spaces I added potatoe pieces, onion slices and a few vegies.  Over it all I poured about 2 cups of water, added a sprinkling of braai salt and fresh herbs.  Put the whole thing in the oven on 180, for about 1 hour.
The result - perfect!

Have You Watched Masterchef?

I started only with Season 3 of Australia Masterchef - and I was hooked!

I've always known how to cook, learning as a little girl, from my mother, but this Masterchef has opened up a whole new world of cooking, flavours and plating!

I just love it!!
