Why metric?
Metric avoids regional spoon ambiguity. US uses 5 mL tsp, 15 mL tbsp and 240 mL cup. Small masses stay in grams unless a verified recipe conversion exists. More on measurements
40 ml extra-virgin olive oil (36 g)
300 g mushrooms, very finely chopped
1 medium brown onion, finely chopped (150 g)
2 garlic cloves, grated (10 g)
600 g boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 cm pieces
6 g smoked paprika
200 ml reduced-salt chicken stock (200 g)
1.5 g iodised table salt, plus more to taste
12 g cornflour (cornstarch)
250 g Greek yoghurt
300 g white rice (dry)
30 g unsalted butter
10 g flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Ground black pepper, to taste
Method
Heat the oil in a wide pan over high heat and cook the mushrooms hard for 6-8 minutes, without stirring much, until their water has gone and they smell nutty. Rushing this leaves the sauce grey and watery.
Add the onion and cook 5 minutes, then the garlic for 1 minute.
Add the chicken and smoked paprika and stir for 2 minutes, then pour in the stock, add the salt, cover and simmer on low for 20-25 minutes. The chicken should be at least 74C/165F and soft enough to crush against the side of the pan. There is less stock here than you might expect, because the yoghurt stirred in at the end is what makes the sauce.
Meanwhile rinse the rice, put it in a pan with 600 ml water and a tight lid, boil, then cook 12 minutes on the lowest heat and rest 10 minutes off the heat. Fork the butter through it.
Slurry the cornflour with 30 ml cold water, stir it into the simmering sauce and cook 2 minutes, until it coats the meat.
Take the pan off the heat and stir in the yoghurt a spoonful at a time. Boiling it after this point splits it into grains.
Taste and adjust the salt, scatter with parsley and serve over the rice with plenty of sauce.
Safety and storage
Cook to
74°C / 165°F in the centre (poultry, including minced poultry)
Keeps
2 days refrigerated below 5°C
Reheat to
steaming hot, at least 60°C
The table gives poultry cuts as 74°C. Minced poultry is taken to the same temperature rather than the 71°C mince figure, because mincing spreads surface bacteria through the whole mass. Colour and clear juices are not a reliable test. Check the thickest part with a thermometer.
Cooked rice and pasta keep two days rather than three, so this dish takes the shorter time. Cool and cover within two hours, split large amounts into shallow containers, and reheat until steaming hot, at least 60°C.
These options describe ways to change the workload around a written recipe method. They do not certify a recipe as accessible or safe for a particular person, and they do not silently rewrite the canonical ingredients, quantities, cooking temperatures or food-safety requirements. Trial the real task and use a different method or recipe when a generic workflow change would be inappropriate.
Workflow option
Reduce the chopping step before changing knife technique
If chopping is one of the heavier parts of this method, first check whether the same ingredient can be bought or prepared in a form that removes some knife work.
Consider: Compare pre-cut, frozen, pre-portioned or otherwise prepared versions only where they still perform the same culinary role in this recipe.
Trade-offs
Convenience formats can cost more or use more storage space.
Texture, seasoning, sodium or package size can differ, so check the actual product rather than assuming it is equivalent.
Some or all preparation may be separable from the heat-side work, even when the complete recipe cannot be performed from one position.
Consider: Stage ingredients and complete suitable measuring, opening and cold preparation at a stable seated station before the stove or oven is active, while keeping heat-side tasks as a separate plan.
Trade-offs
Moving prep can increase carrying if ingredients and tools are stored far from the seated station.
Perishable foods still require normal temperature control during staged preparation.
Recipes whose current method review records low visual reliance, making them useful examples when comparing methods that depend less heavily on visual checking.
