It's a one-pot dish, so it's really easy to clean up.
Speaker A
And it's perfect for a weeknight meal, so let's get started.
Speaker A
First, you're going to need some chicken thighs.
Speaker A
I'm using boneless, skinless chicken thighs, but you can use bone-in, skin-on if you prefer.
Speaker A
Just make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Speaker A
You're also going to need some rice.
Speaker A
I'm using long-grain white rice, but you can use any type of rice you like.
Speaker A
Just make sure to rinse it thoroughly before cooking.
Speaker A
And finally, you're going to need some vegetables.
Speaker A
I'm using a mix of carrots, peas, and corn, but you can use any vegetables you like.
Speaker A
Just make sure to chop them into bite-sized pieces.
Speaker A
So once you have all your ingredients ready, it's time to start cooking.
Speaker A
First, you're going to heat some oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Speaker A
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs and cook them until they're browned on all sides.
Speaker A
This will take about 5-7 minutes.
Speaker A
Once the chicken is browned, remove it from the pot and set it aside.
Speaker A
Now, add the chopped vegetables to the pot and cook them until they're softened.
Speaker A
This will take about 5-7 minutes.
Speaker A
Once the vegetables are softened, add the rice to the pot and stir to combine.
Speaker A
Then, add the chicken broth and bring it to a boil.
Speaker A
Once it's boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed.
Speaker A
Once the rice is cooked, add the cooked chicken back to the pot and stir to combine.
Speaker A
Then, season with salt and pepper to taste.
Speaker A
And that's it; your delicious chicken and rice dish is ready to serve.
Speaker A
I hope you enjoy it.
