Ingredients

• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• Approx 600 grams boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 diced yellow onion
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon chopped parsley to garnish
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• Approx 2 cups of vegetable broth

Recipe

1. Prepare a seasoning mix by combining paprika, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
2. Coat both sides of the chicken thighs with the prepared seasoning mix.
3. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to a deep skillet over medium heat. Swirl to coat the entire surface with oil.
4. Cook the thighs for a few minutes on each side till they turn brown.
5. Now, place the browned chicken on a clean plate.
6. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the skillet over medium-low heat, and add the diced onion. Sauté the onion for about 5 minutes.
7. Add the uncooked rice to the skillet and continue to saute for 2 more minutes.
8. Pour the vegetable broth into the skillet and stir briefly til it dissolves the remaining brown bits at the bottom of the skillet.
9. Place the chicken on top of the rice in the skillet and cover it with a lid. Turn the heat to medium-high and allow the broth to boil.
10. Once the broth comes to a boil, turn the heat low and let the chicken and rice continue to simmer without lifting the lid for about 20 minutes.
11. After 20 minutes, turn off the heat and let it rest for about 5 more minutes.
12. Remove the lid and fluff the rice around the chicken.
13. Garnish it with the chopped parsley. Serve warm and enjoy.
