Ingredients
- 6 (4 ounces each) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- ¾ teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 teaspoons olive oil divided
- ½ yellow onion chopped
- 1 large carrot diced
- 1 large celery stalk diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup dry brown rice (I used basmati)
- 2 ½ cups chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley
- 5 basil leaves thinly sliced
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the chicken thighs in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, stir together the rosemary, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Sprinkle over the chicken and toss to coat.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
- Turn the heat to medium. Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil in the skillet. Add the onion, carrot and celery, and cook until the vegetables are tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Stir the brown rice and chicken broth into the vegetables. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover, reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes.
- Nestle the chicken and any accumulated juices into the rice. Cook (covered) until the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. The rice should be tender and the chicken cooked through.
- Stir in the parsley and basil. Season to taste. Serve.
