A comforting one-pot meal featuring juicy chicken thighs, fragrant rice, and savory seasonings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.
  3. Heat oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Cook the chicken skin-side down for 5-7 minutes until browned, then flip and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  5. Sauté onions and garlic in the same skillet until the onion is translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Stir in the rice and toast for about a minute. Then add the chicken broth.
  7. Nestle the chicken back in, skin-side up, partially submerged in the broth.
  8. Cover and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
  9. Remove the cover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.
  10. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken night before or using homemade chicken broth.
