Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound chicken thighs
  • 2 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 bouillon cube
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 10 oz frozen cauliflower rice
  • 1 ½ cup chopped carrots- 3 medium carrots
  • 2 cup chopped broccoli - larger chunks
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 bay leave
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of thyme

Instructions

  • In a large dutch oven, add olive oil. Heat the pot on medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering. Add chicken to the pot, cook each side till it starts to brown. 
  • Add in chicken broth and dissolve the bouillon in the broth.  Add everything else, except for the lemon, to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover and cook till rice is tender and chicken is cooked through- about 25 min.
