Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large oven-safe pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then sear them in the pot for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown on both sides. Remove the chicken and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the rice, chicken broth, lemon juice, dried thyme, and the seared chicken thighs. Bring to a boil.

  4. 4

    Bake the Soup

    Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the chicken is tender.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the pot from the oven, discard the chicken thighs, and shred the meat. Return the shredded chicken to the pot, stirring to combine. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
