Rice with chicken thighs
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I really dislike when rice recipes simply boil down to cooking pilaf. After all, you can make so many delicious dishes with rice—it goes perfectly with any vegetables. Sometimes I cook it in the oven with frozen vegetables, sometimes I boil it separately and prepare a tasty meat sauce. I've only recently discovered this recipe, but I've already grown to love it. Both the chicken thighs and the rice turn out delicious, so you definitely should give it a try. Serve hot.
