Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place the chicken thighs in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, stir together the rosemary, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Sprinkle over the chicken and toss to coat.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
  • Turn the heat to medium. Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil in the skillet. Add the onion, carrot and celery, and cook until the vegetables are tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Stir the brown rice and chicken broth into the vegetables. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover, reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes.
  • Nestle the chicken and any accumulated juices into the rice. Cook (covered) until the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. The rice should be tender and the chicken cooked through.
  • Stir in the parsley and basil. Season to taste. Serve.
