Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme. Set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Chop the onion, dice the carrots and bell pepper, and mince the garlic. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 4

    Brown the Chicken

    Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the seasoned chicken thighs. Brown the chicken on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  3. 5

    Add Rice and Broth

    Stir in the long-grain rice, ensuring it mixes well with the sautéed vegetables. Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 6

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

  5. 7

    Serve

    Remove the bay leaf, fluff the rice with a fork, and check the seasoning. Adjust with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
