How to Make Chicken And Rice 1 Pot Meal

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet with a lid over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until onions are softened and slightly browned.
  2. Push the onions to the center of the skillet. Add 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces, to the outer edges of the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned.
  3. Push the chicken towards the center, creating space around the edges. Add 1 cup long-grain rice to the outer edge of the pan. Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth or water, ensuring the rice is mostly submerged. Add 1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces, nestling them into the rice so they are partially covered by the liquid.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 40 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.
