David's One Pot Chicken, Rice, & Veggies

Ingredients

• 4-6 bone in chicken thighs (or whatever you like, but oven time is based on thighs)
• 1-1.5 cups rice
• 4-6 carrots
• 2 cloves garlic
• Any extra veggies (I like half a cup of frozen peas)
• 2.5-4 cups chicken stock
• Half of a white onion diced
• 2 tbsp olive/avocado oil
• 2 tbsp Butter (sub oil above if preferred)

Instructions

1. Dry and heavily season breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and anything that sounds good (I do onion, garlic, and paprika powder).
2. Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium high
3. Sear chicken on both sides for 2 minutes each
4. Remove and set aside
5. Add butter and more oil (or just oil) and sauté onions, carrots, and garlic for 5 mins
6. Put in rice, chicken stock, and veggies and bring to a simmer
7. Remove off heat and place thighs on top
8. Cover and put in oven at 375 for 35 minutes until chicken is cooked and the chicken stock is absorbed
