Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups long-grain white rice
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 2 medium carrots, sliced into rounds
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Season the chicken thighs with half of the salt, pepper, and paprika.
Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove and set aside (the chicken doesn't need to be fully cooked yet).
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the rice, carrots, and remaining seasonings (salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme). Toast the rice for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to combine, and bring it to a simmer.
Nestle the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes, scatter the broccoli florets over the top of the dish. Cover again and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and the rice is fully cooked.
Remove from heat and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve directly from the skillet for a warm, family-style meal.
