- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1.5 cups white rice (uncooked)
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1.5 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
How to make One-Pan Chicken & Herb Rice
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure they brown nicely during cooking.
- Season the chicken thighs all over with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet (cast iron or heavy-bottomed stainless steel) over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, carefully place the seasoned chicken thighs in the skillet.
- Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until deeply golden brown. This creates a flavorful crust. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- Add 1.5 cups of uncooked white rice to the same skillet, stirring it to coat in any residual oil and browned bits. Pour in 3 cups of chicken broth and sprinkle in 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning.
- Bring the liquid to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a spoon. Nestle the seared chicken thighs back into the rice mixture.
- Cover the skillet tightly with a lid or aluminum foil. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, carefully remove the lid or foil. Stir in 1.5 cups of frozen mixed vegetables around the chicken. Re-cover the skillet and return it to the oven for another 5-10 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F / 74°C).
- Let the skillet rest, still covered, for 5 minutes after removing it from the oven to allow the rice to finish absorbing liquid and the chicken to retain its juiciness. Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving immediately.
