This 5 Ingredient Trader Joe's Peri Peri Chicken and Rice dish is packed with flavor and the perfect quick weeknight meal that is ready in about 20 minutes!
Prep: In a large bowl or gallon-size zip-top bag, add your chicken. Pour in your peri peri sauce and stir until the chicken is well-coated. Marinate chicken for 10 minutes or up to overnight.
Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add chicken thighs. Cook chicken 4-5 minutes on one side. Then flip, and cook 2-3 minutes on the second side or until cooked through to an internal temperature of at least 170° degrees.Transfer chicken to a plate and cover with foil.
Cook Rice: To the pan, add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. With a wooden spoon, scrape off all the yummy browned bits of chicken from the bottom of the pan. To the pan, add rice. Cook the rice for about 5-6 minutes, stirring often. The rice should be heated through and most of the liquid should be evaporated.
Finish: Add the chicken (with all the juice from the plate!) back to the pan. Cook, uncovered for 1-2 minutes more until chicken is heated through. Sprinkle everything with the Aglio Olio seasoning (if using) and drizzle with more peri peri sauce!
