Ingredients
For Marinade
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice fresh
- 2 tablespoons za'atar
- 2 cloves garlic
- salt + pepper
For Dish
- 8 bone-in skin on chicken thighs
- 1 cup long grain rice uncooked
- 1/4 red onion chopped
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Garnish
- 1/4 cup almond slices toasted
- parsley chopped
- lemon juice
Instructions
- In a bowl, place all marinade ingredients and mix with a fork
- Pour olive oil, lemon juice, and za'atar into a large zip-top bag. Insert the chicken inside. Close the bag and give it a shake so the chicken gets coated with the liquid. Marinate for 15 minutes to overnight
- Heat olive oil in a large rimmed skillet over medium high heat
- Remove chicken from marinade. DO NOT DISCARD THE MARINADE
- Season chicken with salt and pepper
- Place chicken in the pan and brown on both sides. About 5 minutes per side. Work in batches if necessary
- Remove chicken from pan and place aside. Discard the excess oil in the pan leaving just 1 tablespoon of fat
- Add the onion, season with salt and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they soften
- Add the uncooked rice and mix in with the onion. Cook for 1 minute or until the rice toasts a bit.
- Place the marinade in a measuring cup, add enough stock until you get 2 cups of liquid
- Add the chicken stock/marinade into the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan to release the toasted up pieces (this has so much flavor)
- When liquid starts to boil, return chicken to pan and cover. Lower the heat to low
- Cook for 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and rice is fluffy
- Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork
- Squeeze lemon juice over the dish. Sprinkle almonds and parsley
- Serve and enjoy!
