Description

This recipe is a delicious and easy one-pot meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. The chicken thighs are slow-cooked with rice, vegetables, and spices, resulting in a flavorful and comforting dish that is sure to become a family favorite.

Prep time

The prep time for this recipe is minimal, as most of the ingredients are simply added to the crockpot and left to cook. You can have this meal ready in just 10-15 minutes.

Cook Time

This recipe is designed to be cooked in a crockpot or slow cooker, which means that the cooking time is longer but requires very little hands-on time. The total cook time is 4-6 hours on low heat.

Ingredients

  • 6 bone-in chicken thighs
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Crockpot or slow cooker
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula

Method

  1. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to the crockpot.
  3. In the same skillet, add the diced onion, garlic, and bell peppers, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the thyme and paprika and cook for another minute.
  4. Add the rice, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth to the crockpot, and stir to combine. Add the cooked vegetables on top of the rice mixture.
  5. Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Once the cooking time is up, remove the lid and use a spatula to fluff the rice. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you prefer, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for this recipe.
  • If you don't have a crockpot, you can also make this recipe in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot. Simply follow the same instructions, but cook in the oven at 350°F for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled to serve a larger crowd.

Recipe Tips

  • For extra flavor, add a can of drained and rinsed black beans or corn to the crockpot along with the rice and vegetables.
  • If you want to save even more time, you can skip browning the chicken thighs and simply add them to the crockpot raw. However, the chicken will not be as flavorful and may release more liquid as it cooks.
  • If you find that the rice is not fully cooked after the allotted cooking time, add a little more chicken broth and cook for another 30 minutes.

Enjoy this easy and delicious chicken thigh and rice crockpot recipe for a satisfying and comforting meal that the whole family will love!
