Ingredients

  • Chicken: 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (canonical). These provide the most flavor and moisture to the dish.
  • Rice: 1 ½ cups long-grain white rice (or basmati). Long-grain varieties hold their shape best and don't become mushy.
  • Aromatics: 1 medium onion (or 2 shallots), finely chopped; 3 cloves garlic, minced. The foundation of French flavor.
  • Fat: 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 tablespoon unsalted butter. For searing and sautéing.
  • Liquid: 3 cups low-sodium chicken stock (plus up to ½ cup extra, if needed). Using low-sodium allows you to control the saltiness.
  • Optional Liquid: ½ cup dry white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio). Adds a wonderful depth; can be swapped for more stock.
  • Seasoning: 1 teaspoon dried thyme; 1 bay leaf; ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste). Classic French herbs.
  • Finish: ½ lemon, juiced; ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped. Brightens and freshens the dish.
