Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, oregano, and paprika.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, cooking until softened (about 3–4 minutes).
  3. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and brown on both sides (about 5 minutes each).
  4. Stir in the rice, followed by the chicken broth and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
  6. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the chopped red bell pepper on top and cover again to steam.
  7. Once everything is cooked through, fluff the rice with a fork and serve warm.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat adding broth if needed.
