One-Pot Chicken and Rice
Bone-in chicken thighs browned and finished in the same pot as the rice, so every grain cooks in the drippings.
Austin, Texas · one pot at a time
One good pot and a well-stocked pantry is most of what dinner takes.
Pot And Pantry is a one-pot kitchen and corner pantry shop on South Lamar. We cook from a short list of staples and publish the recipes, so you can do the same at home.
From the pot this week
One dish we're cooking on repeat, and two more worth a Tuesday night.
Mains
Classic Beef Chili
A thick, no-bean Texas-style chili built on chuck, dried chiles, and a long simmer until the sauce clings to the meat.
Breads55 min
No-Knead Pantry Bread
A crusty, open-crumb loaf made from four pantry staples and an overnight rise, baked in a covered pot.
What's always in the pantry
Keep this short list stocked and most of our menu is within reach.

- The base of our chicken and rice, and a blank canvas for pantry fried rice.
- Canned tomatoes and tomato paste
- For chili, braises, and anything that needs body.
- Dried chiles and chili powder
- Toasted in fat before any liquid goes in, never added as an afterthought.
- All-purpose flour and buttermilk
