Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 6 skin-on bone-in chicken thighs about 2 lbs.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
- 1¼ cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- ½ cup pitted green olives
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 lemon cut into wedges
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry and sprinkle both sides with the spices.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add in the chicken, skin side down, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook until browned on the second side, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- To the pan, add in the rice and sauté until toasted, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth and tomato sauce. Nestle the chicken back into the pot. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes until the rice and chicken are cooked through.
