Roast a chicken sitting on top of a load of rice in the roasting tin. Add water and white wine..maybe a chopped carrot and onion and bayleaf.

Best thing about it is that you can eat it for several days!
Add soy sauce one, add passata another, add curry sauce etc.
I love chicken man :)

I thought it was funny goes with the thread.

I love this Greek lemon chicken rice.
Taco rice also love this with sour cream and guacamole. I do similar with Indian spices and raita, bit like a biryani I suppose

Agree with the jambalaya posted above it's incredible!

I do a lot of different versions of this kind of thing when it's just me at home and I want something quick. I basically dump the hot rice onto whatever I am mixing it with and let the rice warm the other ingredients a bit.

Good things to add to hot buttery rice:

Cooked chicken
Ham
Tuna
Tinned sardines in tomato sauce
Anchovies
Feta
Chopped hardboiled eggs
Any roast meat leftovers

Spring onions
Sliced babycorn
Frozen peas/sweetcorn
Tinned sweetcorn
Red/green peppers
Grated courgette
Chopped tomatoes
Chickpeas or other beans

Also, lemon juice, soy, chopped fresh herbs, a bit of squished ginger and/or garlic, lime juice, houmous, sesame oil, mayo, sesame sauce, tahini, curry powder, cumin, chilli (fresh or dried). Not all at once.

Oh, a fried egg is also really good on top of this type of thing!

Kedgeree is a good easy rice recipe.

Cook rice, let cool. Or use the pouches of rice for ultimate easiness.

Bring smoked haddock to the boil in half milk half water. Let cool.

Hard-boil some eggs.

Flake the fish and remove any bones. Chop the eggs. Melt a lot of butter in a pan and fry the rice, fish and eggs until hot. You can also add peas (frozen is fine), parsley and a small amount of curry powder at the frying stage. Salt and white pepper to taste. The smoked haddock is pretty salty so you don't normally need to season too much.

We have a rice main once a week and these are my current 3 on rotation. https://beatthebudget.com/recipe/nandos-spicy-rice - I usually do this with some marinated chicken or pork (sometimes with left over roast).
This is dc3 favourite https://www.aldi.co.uk/recipes/courses/mains/super-savoury-rice.
I also make the Jambalaya above (so simple).
