Equipment

  • Large Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 6 pieces Chicken Thigh bone-in, skin on
  • 0.5 tablespoon oregano
  • 0.25 tablespoon thyme
  • 0.25 tablespoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1.5 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 1.5 cup mushroom sliced
  • 2 tablespoon Butter optional
  • 1.5 cup uncooked white rice
  • 2.5 cups Chicken Stock or Water
  • 3 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Season the chicken with oregano, thyme, paprika, garlic powder, lemon zest, olive oil, and salt and pepper. Massage well and set it aside for 15 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  • In a large pan, turn the heat to medium-high, and add the chicken, skin side facing down. Pan-fry the chicken for 3 minutes on each side or until the chicken skin is crispy. Remove and set aside.
  • Add in onion and mushroom. Saute for 2-3 minutes.
  • Once the onion is translucent, mix in rice and butter.
  • Finally, add back in the chicken, and pour in chicken stock and lemon juice.
  • Turn the heat to medium; cover and cook for 20-25 minutes or until all the liquids are absorbed into the rice.

Notes

I find that basmati rice is the most beginner friendly and fail-proof.
