Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • ½ cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and oregano.
