This one-pot-wonder Honey Dijon Chicken & Rice Pilaf is a weeknight-meal game changer! Less dishes and more time to spend around the dinner table!
If you don’t yet know the full story behind my love affair with my Ninja Foodi, here it is: I bought one in 2019 in Madison, WI (on uber sale with 3 coupons!) so I could cook in my hotel room for Mat during the CrossFit Games. We had pulled pork tacos and juicy chicken thighs and all the things we love to eat at home, expect we were hundreds of miles away with daily turn-down service. WIN, WIN (WIN, WIN.. if you know what I mean because Mat won his 4th consecutive CrossFit Games Championship title!).
I’m here now with the newest Ninja Foodi, the DELUXE. It’s truly a one-pot-wonder. This Honey Dijon Chicken & Rice Pilaf dish requires only a handful of pantry ingredients and comes together in 30 minutes! Enjoy some time cooking for the ones you love!
A true one pot wonder.
This meal is made in the one pot of the Ninja Foodi using a few different cooking methods. Not only does it come together in record time but one pot means fewer dishes and a quicker cleanup. Who doesn’t love that? The cooking part is so rewarding because you’re left with a delicious meal to feed the family, it brings you together at the end of a long day. As much as I try to clean as I go, I’m still left with cleanup at the end of a meal. With this one, it’s a quick scrub of the cooking racks and swipe of the large pot and BOOM, done.
One pot, 3 cooking methods.
First, start with pressure cook. With the rice in bottom of the pot and the chicken resting above on the wire racks, set the pressure cooker to high for 5 minutes. You can place the chicken on the tray on aluminum foil or let the drippings from the chicken further season and flavor the rice, totally up to you!
Once the pressure cook is done, you’ll add the veggies on another wire rack and stack the chicken above. Set the Ninja Foodi to roast and cook the meal for about 15 minutes.
Lastly, switch the cooking method over to broil, basting and flipping the chicken with the honey dijon sauce until perfectly cooked and flavored.
