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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 2

Season the chicken thighs with half of the salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 3

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).

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 6

Stir in the rice, carrots, and remaining seasonings (salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme). Toast the rice for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to combine, and bring it to a simmer.

Step 8

Nestle the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 25 minutes.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Remove from heat and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve directly from the skillet for a warm, family-style meal.
