Description

A hearty, wholesome one-pot meal featuring golden, crispy-skinned chicken thighs simmered with perfectly fluffy long-grain rice.


Ingredients

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

1 cup long-grain white rice

2 ½ cups chicken broth

1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp dried thyme

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh chopped parsley for garnish


Instructions

1. Pat chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.

2. Brown chicken in oil over medium-high heat until skin is crispy. Remove and set aside.

3. Sauté onion and garlic in the same pan until softened.

4. Stir in rice and toast for 1-2 minutes.

5. Add broth, stir, and nestle chicken back into the pan.

6. Cover and simmer on low heat for 18-20 minutes.

7. Rest covered for 5 minutes before garnishing with parsley.

Notes

Ensure a tight-fitting lid to trap steam for perfect rice.

Check your broth label to ensure the recipe remains gluten-free.

Use a 10 to 12-inch heavy-bottomed skillet for best results.
