Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup Brown rice
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 can (14 oz) Canned artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Sear the chicken thighs on both sides until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside.
Rinse the brown rice under cold water and drain well.
In the crock pot, add the browned chicken thighs, rinsed brown rice, chicken broth, artichoke hearts, minced garlic, diced onion, white wine (if using), dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-5 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through and the rice is fully cooked.
Once cooked, stir in the lemon juice and allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
Serve the artichoke chicken and brown rice topped with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
