Chicken and Rice
Things every adult needs: a savings account, a matching sheet set, and this staple chicken dish for everything from school nights to date nights to dinner parties. (We promise it’s way more exciting than savings and sheets!)
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.

Ingredients
- ¼ (50g) medium onion, diced small
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- ¼ (30g) red bell pepper, diced small
- 1 cup (190g) rice
- ½ cup (120g) marinara sauce
- 1½ cups (360ml) water
- ⅓ cup (40g) frozen or fresh peas
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes
- 4 chicken drumsticks

- black pepper, to taste
Preparation
- Add all ingredients except the chicken into the Anyday dish and mix to combine. Season the drumsticks with salt and pepper and arrange over the rice. Cover with the lid (knob lifted).
- Cook in the microwave for 25-26 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is fully hydrated.
- Let the dish cool for 2 minutes with the lid still on. Serve and enjoy!
Serving suggestions & tips
- Not feeling marinara tonight? Substitute salsa, curry, or any other tomato-based sauce of your liking.
- You can also try swapping peas for any veggie (we like lima or green beans) and chicken thighs instead of drumsticks.
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
