ingredients

01.

Soak the white rice for at least 15 minutes, then drain it well. While the rice is soaking, sprinkle the chicken thighs with paprika, garlic powder, and sea salt on both sides.

In a bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the broth, tomato paste, dried oregano, and sea salt until well-combined. Set aside until ready to use.

02.

Heat a large cast iron skillet or thick-bottomed pot over medium-heat and add the avocado oil. Once the skillet is very hot, carefully place the seasoned chicken thighs on the hot surface, skin side down.

03.

04.

Brown for 3 to 5 minutes, until the skin is golden-brown and crispy, then flip chicken to the other side and brown another 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken pieces to a plate and set aside.

05.

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onion turns translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the rice and garlic and use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to continuously stir until the rice has a bit of a golden-brown color to it, about 3 to 5 minutes.
