Ingredients
Cooking Instructions
step 1
Pat the Chicken (6) dry and season evenly with Smoked Paprika (2 tsp), Dried Cilantro (2 tsp), Simply Organic Onion Powder (1/4 tsp), Salt (1 tsp), and Pepper (1 tsp). Drizzle 1 Tbsp of Lime Juice (3) over the chicken.
step 2
Heat Olive Oil (1 Tbsp) in a large skillet at medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs skin side down and sear for 5 to 6 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Remove chicken from the skillet and set to the side.
step 3
Lower skillet heat to medium. Add Butter (2 Tbsp) and Garlic (2 Tbsp), stirring for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
step 4
Add Basmati Rice (1 1/2 cups), 1/4 cup of lime juice, lime zest, Simply Organic Onion Powder (1/2 tsp), Salt (1 tsp), and Ground Black Pepper (1 tsp). Cook for 1 minute.
step 5
Add Fresh Cilantro (1/2 cup) and Chicken Stock (3 cups). Stir to fully immerse rice in stock. Bring ingredients to a slight boil then slightly reduce the heat to medium-low.
step 6
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet skin side up, cover with lid, and simmer for 15 minutes until the rice is fully cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
step 7
Remove from heat and allow the chicken and rice to rest uncovered for 10 minutes.
