Homemade Old-Fashioned Chicken and Rice Recipe

Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the chicken thighs, season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook until the chicken is browned on both sides. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

In the same skillet, sauté the onion, garlic, and bell pepper until softened. Add the rice and cook for a few more minutes.

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet. Add the chicken broth and dried thyme, then bring to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the chicken is fully cooked.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
