This Best Smothered Chicken and Rice Recipe is the ultimate comfort food, featuring juicy chicken smothered in a rich gravy served over fluffy rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pieces chicken thighs
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs, season with salt, pepper, and paprika, and cook until browned on both sides.
  2. Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent.
