Preparation
Start the chicken
Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a medium, oven-safe pot, heat a drizzle of oil on high. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with ⅔ of the spices and S&P. Cook, 2 to 3 min. per side, until partially cooked. Transfer to a cutting board, leaving any browned bits in the pot. Reserve the pot.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, core and medium-dice the apple.
Sauté the vegetables
In the reserved pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Sauté the squash, cabbage and remaining spices, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to brown.
Start the rice
To the pot of vegetables, add 1 ¾ cups water, 1 tbsp butter (double both for 4 portions), the rice, garlic, mustard, demi-glace and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Cover, transfer to the oven and bake, 8 to 10 min., until the rice is partially cooked.
Finish the chicken & rice
When the rice is partially cooked, remove from the oven and add the apple and chicken. Cover and bake, 8 to 10 min., until the chicken* is cooked through and the rice and vegetables are tender.
Plate your dish
Divide the rice and vegetables between your plates. Top with the chicken (slice beforehand if desired). Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
