See the thing about Adam that seperates him to the rest is that he’s more relatable . Watching his videos is something you’d actually see your parents do . He’s not trying to be some fancy chef doing impossible meals he’s a great man doing easy recipes . Definition of “it’s not much but it’s honest work” great stuff Adam
I love how quick Adam is to just go "You could do this, but you don't have to." I think a big part of why so many people intimidated by cooking or following any recipes is the lack of a certain ingredient or a fear of trying something new. It's pretty normal to hear Adam give multiple alternatives on the fly or remind you that it doesn't *have* to look a certain way, you can still eat it.
@@michaelgriese1771 While I agree about the way you get more colour in a larger portion of chicken, chopping raw chicken is not as complicate as he was showing...You would never chop 4 chicken thighs at the same time, go one at a time and it's really easy.
Hah, this has been my goto recipe for the past two months. Almost exactly the same....well...for the most part exactly the same. But las time I added heavy cream to it and oh boy was it nice and creamy at the end. I also made an indian version of this adding a garam masala and turmeric to the cream and marinating the chicken in it for a while. This is a very versatile dish and is nice hot or cold or reheated. Thanks Adam.
Hi! I'm curious whether you added the heavy cream in the beginning or end of the cooking? I know this comment is a year old so no worries if you don't remember lol
@@kellyh8490 Hello. If I'm doing the creamy version then I add the cream on top of everything right before i put it into the oven. I use a casserole for this and I usually add the liquids right before it goes into the oven. It also works with tomato juice plus italian spices or asian spices with soy sauce mixed in with the chicken stock. Hope this helps.
agreed, no bullshit, no ridiculously hard to find ingredients, just stuff that you can make at home and honesty life of boris is also very relatable, if more... high-energy, i'd say :p
I love how you made this. A lot of people would be tempted to only make the most gourmet or fancy dishes but you're showing us practical cooking stuff that makes life easier alongside all the fancy and work intensive alternatives that are usually reserved for special occaisions.
I think that's why Adam is the best cooking UA-camr IMHO. Other cooking channels focus too much on gourmet and tradition, while Adam does what is most lenient to your average home cook
HenryPlayz yeah but you could easily substitute some amount of chicken stock for white wine. Adam teaches the technique and basic principles of the recipes, you can spice it up however you want.
Unrelated It's a little different from fried rice, as with that you generally use already cooked rice that just gets warmed up and browned a bit in the pan. But I see no reason why you couldn't just make this dish on the stove at low heat too if you lack an oven/don't want to turn it on.
1:40 I think this is what really adds to your channel. I've noticed that you treat each video as its own individual piece of content so you end up repeating things from other videos, or in this case, mentioning a beginner tip that wouldn't otherwise need mentioning in a more advanced recipe. Your channel is one of my absolute favorite cooking channels because it really embraces the reality of what it's actually like to cook at home!
The text recipes in the description are really useful, I've only recently realized how annoying it is when I watch other recipe videos and decide later that I want to make them then realize I have to watch the whole thing again while taking notes. I haven't seen any comments on that so I just wanted to mention that it's greatly appreciated.
I've made variations of this recipe a few times now, and there's two things I think are noteworthy. 1: Having a Dutch oven or similar vessel with a lid that you can cook the whole thing in (stove top and oven) really makes it a lot easier - transferring between vessels sucks. 2: Using dark meat chicken (such as boneless thighs) instead of white meat means you don't really have to worry about the chicken drying out and going chewy, even when reheating. This is especially nice for making a large batch and freezing some. Adam: if you read this, thanks for putting out videos like this. You're helping thousands (myself included) gain the confidence to cook real, reasonably priced and reasonably healthy meals using practical methods and ingredients. Keep up the great work.
Another important thing I learned the hard Way for the brown rice recipe. DONT USE A CUP OF SOY SAUCE. I don't know if that was a typo or misjudgment or something, but a cup was waaaay too much. Even in the video he only puts in like 1/4 of a cup.
Glad I made this (the second version with thigh meat), I'd been looking around for a good thigh recipe and this was PERFECT. Everything came out just right, will absolutely be making this again sometime.
Made this 2 days ago - (combined bits and pieces of both recepies) and it is amazing. It does reheat nicely and it was dirt cheap for a couple of days worth of good food.
I love that you also give the metric measurement and you consider your viewers might not have the same equipment and tell us what we could use instead. It's really helpful, thank you!
I like how Adam relates to all of us by not bothering to do anything unnecessary that will slightly impact the dish like peeling and other stuff like that...
Adam I must say that I appreciate a lot the effort that you put into translating the quantities and giving alternatives to the tools that you are using instead of assuming everyone has those like most internet cooks do. Of all the recipes I watch online, yours must be some of the only ones I actually try myself.
I’m living on my own for the first time this summer and just made this. It turned out amazing! A little sour cream instead of lemon for acidity was nice too. Thank you
from the usage of different measurement units to him actually answering questions that pop the mind of anyone who is trying to make the dish this guy is actually trying to help people
Loved the western version and inspired to attempt and push the eastern version next. Some gronions, ginger and garlic added in to the veg mix, maybe some msg as well. Such an effective weekday meal. Cheap, tasty and efficient. Thank you Adam!
@@orangelake2268 he definitely poured more than just a teaspoon of garlic powder, the guy drawed a comnection to another woman who greatly overestimated how much 2 shots of vodka looks like
This is very similar to one of my favorite dishes my mom made when I was a kid, the only difference is no oven (and probably less stock). Try eating it with plain yogurt and maybe something spicy like hot sauce or (my favorite) sambal oelek chili paste (or the chili paste by the same guys who make the sriracha sauce that everybody loves, they're in the same section of the grocery store)
"If you don't have a lid, put on some foil" - this is a perfect example of why I love Adam's videos. Unlike most UA-cam cooks, he genuinely targets his videos at home cooks, and accounts for the knowledge and equipment home cooks are likely to have, rather than assuming everyone has fancy equipment. Genuinely fantastic.
Also, that cook first cut later thing is a revelation - I've never been able to brown my chicken properly when cooking these sort of meals. Now I know why
He's also very good at explaining why he's doing what he's doing. It gives you the knowledge to start improvising and making changes to fit your tastes better.
Just made this today, and I was blown away by how easy it was to drum this up within like 40 total minutes of prep and cook time. And it makes load of leftovers for relatively cheap cost of ingredients. Love these types of vids!
@@kevin-gb3ee It's not about samonella for me I just don't want blood coming out of my meat and i also don't want any pink meat I like it fully cooked thank you very much

Adam- i tried this recipie, and it turned out very well. Being Indian, I used some Garam Masala, and Kashmiri Chili powder. It made the dish taste real good. my friends really liked the way the dish tasted. Though, they asked me to go easy on the chili powder the next time I cook it again!!!! :) :) Thank you for a wonderful recipie.
Amazing recipe. Took me a while for the first time but amazing results. Burned my fingertips picking up an iron pot coming out of a 200 degree oven though haha. Made the original recipe with chicken breast and a vegetarian version for my girlfriend replacing the meaty flavor from the chicken with 2 boxes of mushrooms and adding 2 cans of beans and 1 can of corn after the pot came out of the oven. Both are delicious and I've got healthy food for the coming 3 days for the both of us. Thanks!
Having watched this twice now, am going to attempt brown rice bake - but wanted to say thank you for these. Concise, quick, simple, with plenty of explanation on WHY something works or doesn't. I've also come to appreciate your tie-ins for your sponsors, very well done on that!
I make a variant of this in my giant Dutch oven (bought on Adam's recommendation), and the 5 guys in my house all split this. Glad to have more ideas to play with!
Tried it. I used chicken thighs, onions, carrots, and broccoli. I also used thai basil and thyme i grew myself in my aerogarden for seasoning, in addition to salt and pepper. It turned out really well
Found your channel as a recently single dad of 4. My kids will love this. Sincerely appreciate your culinary demystification for guys like me. Cheers, salud, and buona sera, Adam.
Hey Adam, made this today and it turned out great! Had the frozen pea epiphany while thinking the dish looked a bit plain. Thanks for the videos. Your black bean dish is still one of my favorites. Wishing the best to you and your family.
Made it this evening and it was great. Plenty left over for later. I did cook it in my wood fired brick oven using the residual heat from Sundays lunch.
Just made this tonight! Very good. Things I learned from my first go. 1) I need to use a bit less salt. I didn't add much, but even that was a bit too much. 2) don't put too much oil in it. I followed his "make sure you have enough oil" a bit too far. It was almost deep frying the damn thing. 3) if you don't have frozen peas, frozen corn is a good alternative too. Would have been better with peas though. Thanks for the recipe!
I'd love to see more weeknight videos with your practical take. There are so many "weeknight" meals on recipe sites that end up taking forever to make.
These easy nutritous and quick recipes. Really come in clutch when nobody in the house can be bothered to cook. So thanks for these great helpful vids❤️
@@mylifeisaparty Because of quarantine! Currently I'm at my family home, where I don't have to cook massive amounts of food. But once quarantine will be lifted, I will return to my little flat, where I cook not only for myself but also for 4 friends that would eat Adam's "9 portions" without any problem and even after that they would still be somewhat hungry xD
I think Adam should've mentioned that if you're using thighs that you might want to use less olive oil. Thighs have more fat than breasts. Just something to consider!
Oh my god!! The first one is a dish we make regularly here in Syria. But we cook it using a stove not the oven. My mom cooks the majority of the carrot, chicken, and peas separately in oil to add on top for a good presentation at the end. So tempted to try your method, and the second one since that one is new 😍
Thank you for this recipe! I added some bay leaves, a tiny bit of tomato paste, with fying some bacon to begin with which I added onto the rice in the end. It's absolutely delicious
@@Tim_2060 yeah and his lasagna takes like 3 days to make lol, it's like his magnum opus, all the effort goes in there. Its a meal for lots of guests at a holiday or something. This is a weekday meal anyone can knock together
I made this for the first time this weekend. This dish truly adds up to a meal that is more than the sum of its parts. Humble ingredients and simple cooking methods leave you with a tasty, economical dish that reheats beautifully. I made the first recipe with thighs instead of breasts and used Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute and went light on the garlic powder because it's in the seasoning mix, then also added a bit of Slap Ya Mama cajun seasoning for a bit of heat. I will definitely make this again.
Made this recipe but used an instant pot. The only difference is 8 minutes pressure cook and 10 minutes natural release. I also used a little tiny bit of rice vinegar for acid since I didn't have lemons. Turned out amazing.
I've made this dish 4 times in the last month since seeing this video. From my experience, FWIW, here's how it works for me: - I'll get a package of skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs, for around $9. I'll debone these and put them into two freezer bags - Brown the thighs as noted; chop and retain the juices - Sautee an onion as noted - Use a cup or two of chicken stock/broth to deglaze the pan, then add a total of 10 cups of broth/stock (I get a 48oz and 32oz container of Great Value (Walmart), stock/broth. It's cheap, but not as cheap as water) - 1 cup of soy sauce - 1 tablespoon of 5-spice, with maybe a pinch more - 4 cups of brown rice; stir until well-mixed - Add the chicken and juices; simmer for about 5 minutes or so - Place lid on the Dutch oven and place into a 430-degree oven for 90 minutes (yeah, my oven isn't as fancy as Adam's) - Remove, stir, and add a bag of GV frozen peas and carrots (Walmart, and still cheap) - Let sit for a few minutes and serve In addition to this, I will also pick up a few rotisserie chickens from Sam's Club- $5 for a 3 pound cooked bird. When I get home, I'll carve them and place them into a container (leaving the thighs/legs still connected). You can save the juice in a separate container and reheat it before use and pour it over the chicken if you desire. This gives me 8 generous servings, lasting more than a week, of chicken and rice PLUS extra rice for smaller meals and it's dirt cheap to make. When I tire of this, I will make a quick batch of pasta to eat with the chicken.
So I just made version A of this (as in: writing this comment between my first plate and going to the kitchen to get another one) and it's fantastic! It's just easy, filling, delicious and cheap. It will be a weeknight regular from now on
I remember one of my French friends complaining that it's almost impossible to get low alcohol % wine in the UK, in the 7-9% range, I imagine this is similar XD
I'll tell you a secret. Buy German wine, especially riesling. It's relatively low alcohol and not very fashionable in the UK, so really very very nice wine tends to go for dirt cheap, even in supermarkets.
Had some chicken I didn't know what to do with so I made version 1. Came out really nicely. I love that you show us recipes that people are actually likely to make, and also that you let us learn from your mistakes.
Frozen vegetables are so underrated. People don't realize that these are picked at peak ripeness and then frozen right away. They even have mixed, pre-chopped bags easiest and quickest vege. You can make a basic stir fry version of these dishes in 10 to 15 minutes with only chicken you have to chop up and rice to cook assuming you don't have a container of cold rice in the fridge, which you really should.
Threw in a Knorr chicken Bouillon cube and a pinch of dried rosemary since that was the only dry herb I had on hand and it came out AMAZING. Strongly recommend that bouillon cube it’s a cheat code!
I thought that this recipe was my family’s lazy way to cook rice without make in it too bland, plain rice, or too fancy, paella or risotto. I guess at the end home cooks all came to the same conclusions 😅
It's amazing how many flavor "tricks" are just laziness that ended up working out, either cause that's what people have done for thousands of years or not. When cutting up something like basil or even fresh sprigs of rosemary, do you pull the leaves off the stem and chop? Nope! Just put that sucker on the board and chop it all at once. Better yet, just drop the entire thing in the pot until the flavor has been released and then toss/compost what's left.
I learned a variation of this from my mom years ago. She cooked it all on the stovetop in a cast iron pan, no oven. I made this version today with my son and it was good. My favorite variation is adding dried apricots or other fruit and Moroccan spices (I like cinnamon, ginger, clove, allspice and cardamom).
Ive been making something very similar but using a beef blade roast or beef finger meat cut up into bite size bits, browned, and cooking the jasmin brown rice in a rice cooker and then throwing in the rice at the end when its almost done cooking. Peas, mushrooms, garlic, sweet pepper. So good. So much fond, and beeffff flavor
I love Simple recipes 💗When i was a student we would watch with my partner videos on how to make delicious food, but we didnt have half of the ingredients or machines to make the things, thats why i dedicated my channel, to simple and easy recipes for anyone to make 💗Thanks for the recipes Adam💗
5:07 Adam: “it’s interesting how apéritifs aren’t a thing in the U.S. like they are in Europe” “These are relatively low alcohol drinks” Me: Ah there it is
I do this kind of meal fairly often with either chicken or fish, but in a pressure cooker. Saute everything, chicken veggies and rice, add liquid and pressure cook for however long the type of rice needs. When cooking with fish (i use frozen fillets) add them right before you seal it to pressure cook. What is great about these types of meals is that you can really just use whatever you have and they'll be slightly different every time, which really helps deal with the monotonous of cooking for yourself all the time.
Helps if the chicken is partially frozen when you try to cut it up. And if you want the chopped chicken to brown, you need to do batches, a wok works well.
4 cups of stock, PLUS vegetables to 2 cups of dry rice leaves it a little wet. if you use 3 cups of stock, or less since your veges have water, the rice is drier and nicer, while still being fully cooked.
While in California, we just put it all in a pressure cooker and it's done in 15-minutes. I also buy brown rice, grilled chicken breast, and frozen vegetables at Trader Joes, and make this in 15 minutes. While the frozen things zap, i cook the other vegetables and make a sauce.
just made a korean inspired version of this with gochujang, soy sauce and gochugaru as the seasoning. super tasty. great recipe for mixing up to whatever's in the fridge and whatever you're in the mood for.
Think it just makes sure the rice doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot , but the brown stuff you get at the bottom when you cook rice on a stove is my favourite part usually 😂.
I know you're joking, but the oven is better because the heat surrounds the food since it's trapped, whereas a stove only heats from the bottom and a lot of heat gets lost into the surrounding kitchen.
When I prep broccoli I cut the florets off and I separate them with my hands, it makes for a lot less waste and mess on the cutting board and surrounding areas; same with cauliflower. For onions I make a V-shaped cut around the root, which gets me a little more to use. 🙂 Great ideas for whenever I can get back to work. 🙃 Thanks, bruv! 💜💚

Though, they asked me to go easy on the chili powder the next time I cook it again!!!! :) :) Thank you for a wonderful recipie.
This video is full of great advice for us novice cooks. I love that you teach a technique that can be adjusted instead of a single recipe.
Amazing recipe. Took me a while for the first time but amazing results. Burned my fingertips picking up an iron pot coming out of a 200 degree oven though haha. Made the original recipe with chicken breast and a vegetarian version for my girlfriend replacing the meaty flavor from the chicken with 2 boxes of mushrooms and adding 2 cans of beans and 1 can of corn after the pot came out of the oven. Both are delicious and I've got healthy food for the coming 3 days for the both of us. Thanks!
Having watched this twice now, am going to attempt brown rice bake - but wanted to say thank you for these. Concise, quick, simple, with plenty of explanation on WHY something works or doesn't. I've also come to appreciate your tie-ins for your sponsors, very well done on that!
I make a variant of this in my giant Dutch oven (bought on Adam's recommendation), and the 5 guys in my house all split this. Glad to have more ideas to play with!
Tried it. I used chicken thighs, onions, carrots, and broccoli. I also used thai basil and thyme i grew myself in my aerogarden for seasoning, in addition to salt and pepper. It turned out really well
I made this today and it's the first good thing I've ever made in my Dutch oven, thanks!
Found your channel as a recently single dad of 4. My kids will love this. Sincerely appreciate your culinary demystification for guys like me. Cheers, salud, and buona sera, Adam.
Hey Adam, made this today and it turned out great! Had the frozen pea epiphany while thinking the dish looked a bit plain. Thanks for the videos. Your black bean dish is still one of my favorites. Wishing the best to you and your family.
Made it this evening and it was great. Plenty left over for later. I did cook it in my wood fired brick oven using the residual heat from Sundays lunch.
4:03 man i swore a sponsorship was gonna pop up here
good ear lol
Just made this tonight! Very good.
Things I learned from my first go.
1) I need to use a bit less salt. I didn't add much, but even that was a bit too much.
2) don't put too much oil in it. I followed his "make sure you have enough oil" a bit too far. It was almost deep frying the damn thing.
3) if you don't have frozen peas, frozen corn is a good alternative too. Would have been better with peas though.
Thanks for the recipe!
Lol same for me on #2. I sopped some of the oil up after pulling the chicken out. Will definitely use less next time.
THE CARROT IS THE ROOT END ADAM. And I guess you did cut it off 🤔
Ah, yes, sorry. Meant stem end!
It's a good thing you're here to keep us all honest. :-)
Where is his so-called journalistic integrity now? A truly shameful display.
Jack Kendall Ok
@@lightknight1599 Me thinks its sarcasm?
I'm shocked by how much I like this recipe, I just added some beef sausage and I might make a batch every week now
An apéritif usually includes some little salty snacks, not just alcohol btw
@@Nitrolego That's a genuine r/boneappletea right there.
See it can include only alcohol if you need only alcohol.
@@nothing11558 true too, I don't often go with alcohol, a glass of soda often does the trick though
An apéritif is a drink. It might be served with snacks.
so an aloholic appetizer then?
Your channel is fantastic. I love your honest, no BS, and relatively scientific approach to things, as well as the mix of recipes.
I'd love to see more weeknight videos with your practical take. There are so many "weeknight" meals on recipe sites that end up taking forever to make.
Last night I threw a splash of white wine into my hamburger helper. Thanks Adam.
“I’m not going to bother peeling the carrots” who are you and where did you put Adam!?
These easy nutritous and quick recipes. Really come in clutch when nobody in the house can be bothered to cook. So thanks for these great helpful vids❤️
Who else could feel their hands burning when Adam flipped the chicken 😂
I would but I burned off my neurons a long time ago pulling shit like that.
Excellent points about the problems with chopping up raw chicken before browning it.
Hey, a student-friendly recipe! Definetely gonna give it a try once quarantine ends
Garden z lasu why wait
@@mylifeisaparty Because of quarantine! Currently I'm at my family home, where I don't have to cook massive amounts of food. But once quarantine will be lifted, I will return to my little flat, where I cook not only for myself but also for 4 friends that would eat Adam's "9 portions" without any problem and even after that they would still be somewhat hungry xD
Ragusea never misses. Made the brown rice bake and it was so much better than I thought it was gonna be.
Yeah it blew me away how good it was, and it's cheap and easy. And it's a great base for trying different flavours too.
Thank you for doing more easy, week night meals! I will definitely make this soon. Probably the first one but with chicken thighs
I think Adam should've mentioned that if you're using thighs that you might want to use less olive oil. Thighs have more fat than breasts. Just something to consider!
Oh my god!! The first one is a dish we make regularly here in Syria.
But we cook it using a stove not the oven. My mom cooks the majority of the carrot, chicken, and peas separately in oil to add on top for a good presentation at the end. So tempted to try your method, and the second one since that one is new 😍
Me watching this while microwaving a bag of rice and chicken: *hmmmmmmm*
my microwave making my rice and chicken: hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
@@Winnie47f *50Hz noise*
@@swedneck *476 MHz analog TV*
Thank you for this recipe! I added some bay leaves, a tiny bit of tomato paste, with fying some bacon to begin with which I added onto the rice in the end. It's absolutely delicious
So Adam now is 'that guy' he said he couldn't be who doesn't peel carrots
Growth!
That's called character development
I think its more because of the fact that its not cooked as long as a lasagna
@@Tim_2060 yeah and his lasagna takes like 3 days to make lol, it's like his magnum opus, all the effort goes in there.
Its a meal for lots of guests at a holiday or something. This is a weekday meal anyone can knock together
I made this for the first time this weekend. This dish truly adds up to a meal that is more than the sum of its parts. Humble ingredients and simple cooking methods leave you with a tasty, economical dish that reheats beautifully. I made the first recipe with thighs instead of breasts and used Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute and went light on the garlic powder because it's in the seasoning mix, then also added a bit of Slap Ya Mama cajun seasoning for a bit of heat. I will definitely make this again.
Clanking is my new favorite term used to describe a rough chopping.
Made this recipe but used an instant pot. The only difference is 8 minutes pressure cook and 10 minutes natural release. I also used a little tiny bit of rice vinegar for acid since I didn't have lemons. Turned out amazing.
I've made this dish 4 times in the last month since seeing this video. From my experience, FWIW, here's how it works for me:
- I'll get a package of skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs, for around $9. I'll debone these and put them into two freezer bags
- Brown the thighs as noted; chop and retain the juices
- Sautee an onion as noted
- Use a cup or two of chicken stock/broth to deglaze the pan, then add a total of 10 cups of broth/stock (I get a 48oz and 32oz container of Great Value (Walmart), stock/broth. It's cheap, but not as cheap as water)
- 1 cup of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of 5-spice, with maybe a pinch more
- 4 cups of brown rice; stir until well-mixed
- Add the chicken and juices; simmer for about 5 minutes or so
- Place lid on the Dutch oven and place into a 430-degree oven for 90 minutes (yeah, my oven isn't as fancy as Adam's)
- Remove, stir, and add a bag of GV frozen peas and carrots (Walmart, and still cheap)
- Let sit for a few minutes and serve
In addition to this, I will also pick up a few rotisserie chickens from Sam's Club- $5 for a 3 pound cooked bird. When I get home, I'll carve them and place them into a container (leaving the thighs/legs still connected). You can save the juice in a separate container and reheat it before use and pour it over the chicken if you desire.
This gives me 8 generous servings, lasting more than a week, of chicken and rice PLUS extra rice for smaller meals and it's dirt cheap to make.
When I tire of this, I will make a quick batch of pasta to eat with the chicken.
So I just made version A of this (as in: writing this comment between my first plate and going to the kitchen to get another one) and it's fantastic!
It's just easy, filling, delicious and cheap. It will be a weeknight regular from now on
3:19 a teaspoon of garlic powder
*"TWO SHOTS OF VODKA"*
He put the right amount, seemed like 2tsp
Tbh, best rice dish I've ever made. Thanks.
I remember one of my French friends complaining that it's almost impossible to get low alcohol % wine in the UK, in the 7-9% range, I imagine this is similar XD
I'll tell you a secret.
Buy German wine, especially riesling.
It's relatively low alcohol and not very fashionable in the UK, so really very very nice wine tends to go for dirt cheap, even in supermarkets.
Had some chicken I didn't know what to do with so I made version 1. Came out really nicely. I love that you show us recipes that people are actually likely to make, and also that you let us learn from your mistakes.
Frozen vegetables are so underrated. People don't realize that these are picked at peak ripeness and then frozen right away. They even have mixed, pre-chopped bags easiest and quickest vege. You can make a basic stir fry version of these dishes in 10 to 15 minutes with only chicken you have to chop up and rice to cook assuming you don't have a container of cold rice in the fridge, which you really should.
Ace suggestions. Thank you!
Great ideas, love both.
I’ve even tried this with pasta, then serving it cold.
Me watching this even though i'll never make it: 👁👄👁
I have done so many recipes from him. All of them is delicius. I am 16, and i love to cook, and adam gives me so much inspiration to start cooking.
It's literally so easy there's no reason not to
@@christianjuresh9436 Lets be real here people are just too lazy to do it
dude, to start off with, make the fries lol they are good
@@mayuravirus6134 everyone is quarantined tho; there's so much time to cook
Threw in a Knorr chicken Bouillon cube and a pinch of dried rosemary since that was the only dry herb I had on hand and it came out AMAZING. Strongly recommend that bouillon cube it’s a cheat code!
I thought that this recipe was my family’s lazy way to cook rice without make in it too bland, plain rice, or too fancy, paella or risotto. I guess at the end home cooks all came to the same conclusions 😅
It's amazing how many flavor "tricks" are just laziness that ended up working out, either cause that's what people have done for thousands of years or not. When cutting up something like basil or even fresh sprigs of rosemary, do you pull the leaves off the stem and chop? Nope! Just put that sucker on the board and chop it all at once. Better yet, just drop the entire thing in the pot until the flavor has been released and then toss/compost what's left.
this dish actually is a very good interpretation of the Malaysian/Singaporean claypot chicken rice. absolute favorite dish of mine!
Dammit Adam where were you during my first two years of college?
True.
I learned a variation of this from my mom years ago. She cooked it all on the stovetop in a cast iron pan, no oven. I made this version today with my son and it was good. My favorite variation is adding dried apricots or other fruit and Moroccan spices (I like cinnamon, ginger, clove, allspice and cardamom).
"I'll just clank up an onion"
OKAY JAMIE OLIVER
Ive been making something very similar but using a beef blade roast or beef finger meat cut up into bite size bits, browned, and cooking the jasmin brown rice in a rice cooker and then throwing in the rice at the end when its almost done cooking. Peas, mushrooms, garlic, sweet pepper. So good. So much fond, and beeffff flavor
I had this simple chicken pun for you, but it was only HALF baked.
And there's just so much to *grain* from this recipe!
I love Simple recipes 💗When i was a student we would watch with my partner videos on how to make delicious food, but we didnt have half of the ingredients or machines to make the things, thats why i dedicated my channel, to simple and easy recipes for anyone to make 💗Thanks for the recipes Adam💗

Adam: “it’s interesting how apéritifs aren’t a thing in the U.S. like they are in Europe”
“These are relatively low alcohol drinks”
Me: Ah there it is
idk i feel like europeans drink more than americans... the alcohol culture in europe is simply incredible, its everywhere
I do this kind of meal fairly often with either chicken or fish, but in a pressure cooker. Saute everything, chicken veggies and rice, add liquid and pressure cook for however long the type of rice needs. When cooking with fish (i use frozen fillets) add them right before you seal it to pressure cook.
What is great about these types of meals is that you can really just use whatever you have and they'll be slightly different every time, which really helps deal with the monotonous of cooking for yourself all the time.
Adam: Because you watch me
Me: *How did you know!*
Helps if the chicken is partially frozen when you try to cut it up. And if you want the chopped chicken to brown, you need to do batches, a wok works well.
2:01 Seared Ahi Chicken, medium rare. £95.
4 cups of stock, PLUS vegetables to 2 cups of dry rice leaves it a little wet. if you use 3 cups of stock, or less since your veges have water, the rice is drier and nicer, while still being fully cooked.
Meanwhile somewhere in Asia.......,washed rice being put into a rice cooker with the ingredients and soy sauce to be left to cook itself 😂
edchinyosh wait that works?
@@danishirfan113 yes, but precook your meat and then just dump everything else in a rice cooker. Search Tomato Rice and Chicken Rice on youtube
@@Foster.Phillip would you mix them or just dump on top of the rice?
@@burningflurber you can do either or
While in California, we just put it all in a pressure cooker and it's done in 15-minutes. I also buy brown rice, grilled chicken breast, and frozen vegetables at Trader Joes, and make this in 15 minutes. While the frozen things zap, i cook the other vegetables and make a sauce.
just made a korean inspired version of this with gochujang, soy sauce and gochugaru as the seasoning. super tasty.
great recipe for mixing up to whatever's in the fridge and whatever you're in the mood for.
Adam: puts rice into oven when the stove can already do the job.
me: *Angry Asian noises
Think it just makes sure the rice doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot , but the brown stuff you get at the bottom when you cook rice on a stove is my favourite part usually 😂.
I know you're joking, but the oven is better because the heat surrounds the food since it's trapped, whereas a stove only heats from the bottom and a lot of heat gets lost into the surrounding kitchen.
@@HettesKvek He's not joking. People actually think their ethnicity makes them an authority on food.
He's clearly joking, he's using the stereotype that Asians only eat rice.
When I prep broccoli I cut the florets off and I separate them with my hands, it makes for a lot less waste and mess on the cutting board and surrounding areas; same with cauliflower. For onions I make a V-shaped cut around the root, which gets me a little more to use. 🙂
Great ideas for whenever I can get back to work. 🙃
Thanks, bruv!

Man's been working out Jesus
I love your videos Adam. Recepies that actually normal people have time and skills to make.
3:06 Missed opportunity to say : Thyme for some seasoning
please more easy to follow and accessible recipes like this
I guess slow and steady wasn't enough to keep that bandaid off your fingers, huh.
i legit learn something in every one of your videos. bless u.
Why bother to buy brown rice when you can just buy white rice and mix in molasses?
Underrated dish for sure
