1 cup carrots, diced
1 cup bell peppers, chopped
1 cup peas
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Sear the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat.
Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried thyme. Add to the skillet and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.
Prepare the Rice and Vegetables:
In the same skillet, add rice and stir to coat with any remaining oil and seasoning.
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add carrots, bell peppers, and peas.
Cook Everything Together:
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, placing them on top of the rice and vegetables.
Cover the skillet, reduce heat to low, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is fully cooked.
