A simple and satisfying one pot meal with tender chicken, savory mushrooms, and fluffy rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add onion and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add garlic and thyme. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add rice and stir to coat in the oil and juices.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and return the browned chicken to the skillet.
  7. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  8. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
  9. Fluff the rice with a fork, garnish with parsley, and serve.

Notes

  • Use a tight-fitting lid to trap steam for fluffy rice.
  • You can use chicken breasts instead of thighs; reduce cook time by 3-4 minutes.
  • Add a splash of white wine with the broth for extra flavor.
