1 cup long-grain white rice
1 medium onion
3 cloves garlic
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tbsp olive oil
Seasonings: salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, bay leaves
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion until translucent, then add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms; cook until mushrooms release moisture.
Add chicken thighs to brown on all sides (about 6-8 minutes per side). Remove chicken temporarily.
Stir in rice and broth, then return chicken on top. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
Once liquid is absorbed, let sit covered for an additional five minutes before serving.
