      Price: $2.31 per serving

       Ingredients

      2 cups boiling water

      1/4 cup dried porcini mushrooms (about 1/4 ounce)

      2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

      1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces

      1 teaspoon sweet paprika

      3/4 teaspoon salt, divided

      1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided

      3/4 cup chopped onion

      8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced

      3/4 cup uncooked brown basmati rice

      2 cups frozen green peas, thawed

      1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

       Preparation

      1. Combine 2 cups boiling water and porcini mushrooms; let stand for 20 minutes. Drain through a sieve over a bowl, reserving soaking liquid. Finely chop mushrooms.

      2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to pan; swirl to coat. Sprinkle chicken evenly with paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add chicken mixture to pan; sauté for 5 minutes or until chicken is browned, stirring occasionally. Remove chicken from pan.

      3. Return pan to medium-high heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add onion and cremini mushrooms; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper; sauté 4 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Stir in reserved porcini liquid, chopped porcini, and rice; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer gently for 35 minutes. Stir in the reserved chicken, peas, and thyme. Cover and cook 10 minutes or until rice is tender and chicken is done.
