Description
Place four strips of hardwood-smoked bacon and a thin layer of pomegranate wine in a large sauce pan. Set heat to 5 (medium high). Get a good bit of fat sizzling and then add two largish frozen boneless skinless chicken thighs ATOP the bacon. Cook about 5 minutes and turn chicken. Cook about 5, then cut chicken apart, scrape bottom, and add 3/4 cup chicken broth, a couple dashes of apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp tarragon, 1 tsp hickory-smoked salt, and 1 tsp garlic w/ parsley. Cook until liquid is almost gone entirely.

Add one 14.5 oz can of carrots and one 15 oz can extra crispy two-color corn (white and gold); liquid between them will add up to 1 cup. Add 1/4 cup pomegranate juice and 3/4 cup water. stir together, deglaze, and bring to a boil on high. Add 1 cup fragrant Jasmine rice, stir in, cover, drop heat to a half notch above simmer, and cook for 15 minutes.

Serve. Turned out to have a nice smoky flavor, and the carrots really popped, probably thanks to the pomegranate. All told, a very delicious little one-pot meal.
