Meet your new go to family friendly dinner! Whats not to love? Easy, delicious, family friendly and affordable, gotta love that! This is a really lovely recipe you can really change many ways or add different spices for different flavors, As mentioned, you can skip the searing (although if I'm being honest, I don't really recommend since it adds not only great texture but also great flavor) just use boneless skinless thighs and season them on both sides before adding to the rest of the ingredients.

Recipe:
6 Bone in, Skin on, Chicken Thighs
4 Tbsp of Olive Oil
2 Tbsp of Garlic and Herb Seasoning
1 Tbsp of Smoked Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups of Long Grain Rice
4 Cloves of Garlic, minced
3 cups of Chicken Stock, hot
2 tsp of Italian Seasoning
3 tbsp of Unsalted Butter
