Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken skin-side down and sear until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Flip the chicken and sear the other side for another 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Combine and Simmer
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet. Cover and simmer for about 25 minutes until the rice is cooked and the chicken is tender.

Add Peas and Finish
After 25 minutes, add the frozen green peas to the skillet. Stir to combine and allow to cook for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.
