The Best Chicken and Rice
Recipe
Ingredients
2 tablespoons
canola oil
4 to 6
bone-in chicken thighs
1/2 teaspoon
paprika
4 medium
carrots
3 stalks
celery
2 large
shallots
2 cloves
garlic
1 tablespoon
fresh thyme
1 tablespoon
fresh oregano
2 teaspoons
lemon zest
1 tablespoon
lemon juice
1 cup
long-grain rice
2 cups
chicken stock
1 tablespoon
fresh chives
Instructions
STEP 1
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss the chicken with the paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Place the chicken skin-side down in the skillet and cook until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and add the remaining oil.
STEP 2
Add the carrots, celery, and shallots to the skillet and cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, thyme, oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper, cooking for another minute. Stir in the rice and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Pour in the stock, add 1/2 teaspoon salt, stir, add the chicken back skin-side up, cover, reduce heat, and simmer until rice is tender and chicken is cooked, 15 to 20 minutes. Preheat the broiler.
STEP 3
Remove the lid and broil until the chicken skin is crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with chives.
