A delightful one-pot meal combining tender chicken, aromatic spices, and fluffy rice, perfect for a comforting dinner.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
Sear the chicken thighs on both sides until golden brown, then remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even browning.
In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook until browned.
Break up the beef into small pieces as it cooks for even browning.
Stir in the cinnamon, allspice, cayenne pepper, and salt, cooking for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.
Toasting the spices enhances their flavor and aroma.
Add the rice to the skillet, stirring to coat it in the oil and spices.
Ensure all the rice grains are coated for even cooking.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the rice.
Arrange the chicken evenly for consistent cooking.
Pour in enough water to cover the rice and chicken, then cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Check occasionally to ensure the rice doesn't dry out, adding more water if needed.
Once the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through, remove from heat and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and fresh parsley before serving.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
