Food Safety

Before you start, wash all surfaces and your hands with soap and warm water, and remember to wash your hands, utensils and cutting boards after they touch raw meat or eggs. Avoid cross-contamination by using a different cutting board for your meat and other ingredients. Make sure you’re cooking to safe temperatures and chilling any leftovers within two hours.

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken thighs, roughly 5 minutes. Stir in onions and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, tex-mex seasoning and basmati rice. Bring to a boil and cover, turn burner to low and cook for 15 minutes.
