This is the easiest stovetop Chicken and Rice recipe!

Cook chicken and rice together for tender, juicy chicken and flavorful rice. Use 3 lbs of seasoned chicken thighs (lemon pepper works great). Brown chicken, then remove. SautƩ 1 chopped onion and 2 cups of rice in drippings, scraping up brown bits. Add 3 cups of water, reserved seasoning, and 1 tbsp bouillon.

  1. Thanks for sharing, Looks good.

    I use drumsticks or chicken tenders, when I make mine. Never been a fan of chicken thighs.

  2. I ain't seen chicken prices like that in a couple years.

    Zooms in on chicken date 2024

    Yup, that checks out.

  3. That looks delicious and is so easy! You’re basically just chopping an onion. (I’d add garlic but I add it to everything lol.) Such a great choice for a weeknight.

  4. Westerners only now discovered Pilaf. It's the same technology to cook meat with rice and carrots. That's why it's popular in the middle east and central Asia. Recently I saw a video where Americans discovered Shashlik and made it as fast food. You can't make this up.

  5. Girl, you are right on time. I had thighs thawing in my fridge and even though I'm low carb I'm gonna splurge a little bit because that looks so good!

  6. Try using mustard and lemon juice with black pepper instead of the flavor packet. The flavor might be different, idk

  7. I’d recommend using Better Than Bullion products. They’re more flavorful than stock in a box or the powder type. Very economical as it keeps in the fridge for a long time.

  8. You can throw all of this in the oven. In the Balkans, that’s our standard way of making chicken and rice.šŸ˜…

  9. Oh yassss ma’am dinner tonight bc I keep ALL OF THESE INGREDIENTS. They like must in my home. Thank you

  10. I made this and my husband love it! It was easy, delicious, and cheap to make. I'll definitely make this again!

  11. This looks super delicious!!! I've started buying chicken thighs more than breast as I think it's more tasty. I've also just bought a rice cooker today off amazon. I'm not very confident cooking rice from scratch as I never seem to time it right 😮
    This might be a very stupid question to ask, if I cook the chicken thighs as you mentioned in a pan, along with cooking some onions, could I in theory transfer the chicken, onions, rice and water/stock into the rice cooker to cook it all together? Xxx

  12. Did you use any of the extra 1c of water that you held back? Also, is that long grain rice? Thank you.

  13. Looks absolutely delicious šŸ˜‹ I'll be making this tomorrow 😊 thanks for sharing your great meal ideas 😊

  14. Made this and it turned out fantastic. I’m not good with onions so I substituted some celery and some chives

  15. One of my favorite dinners! I like to dice a carrot and throw it in at the same time as the onion. Makes it sweeter and a little more colorful!
