Directions
- In a large bowl mix together 1 TBSP of the olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl then flip them around a few times to coat in the oil.
- Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat then add the chicken, skin-side down, into the pan and cook until browned, about 6 minutes.
- Flip the chicken thighs over and cook the other side for about 3 more minutes.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside then add the onion and the garlic to the pan and cook, stirring often, until the onion has softened a bit, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the rice, water and 1/4 tsp salt then use a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan to release any stuck on bits.
- Place the chicken back into the pan, skin-side up, and bring the water to a boil.
- When the water begins to boil place a lid on the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low then simmer for 10 minutes without removing the lid.
- Turn off the heat and let the chicken and rice sit on the stove, making sure to keep the lid on, for 15 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken to a serving plate then fluff the rice with a fork. Season the rice with additional salt & pepper if needed then serve with the chicken thighs.
