Ingredients

✓ 4-6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
✓ 1 ½ cups long-grain white rice
✓ 1 medium onion, chopped
✓ 3 cloves garlic, minced
✓ 3 cups chicken broth (gluten-free if needed)
✓ 1 cup peas or diced bell peppers
✓ 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
✓ 1 teaspoon paprika
✓ 1 teaspoon dried thyme
✓ Salt, to taste
✓ Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

✓ Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels.

✓ Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat and brown the chicken skin side up for about 5 minutes.

✓ Add onion and garlic; sauté until softened and lightly golden.

✓ Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
