How to Make Amanda's Chicken And Rice

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 cup of long-grain rice and toast for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly golden.
  3. Arrange 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1-inch pieces) evenly over the rice.
  4. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
  5. Pour 1 ½ cups of chicken broth (or water) over the chicken and rice.
  6. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through. Stir gently halfway through.
  7. Fluff with a fork before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
