Complete and Utter Deliciousness.

I love all recipes that include chicken thighs, as the thighs are probably my favourite meat on a chicken. When made right, they're incredibly tender and go well with any meal. I made this recipe using one I found online on someone's blog, however I just cannot find their website to cite it. Whoever you are, thank you so much for the recipe. All rights go to you! Anyway, I made this for a sort of late brunch, however this can definitely be served for dinner. It is very filling and visually appetizing. And I served it with a bed of baby spinach and my capri salad tomatoes (which the recipe can be found here: http://cookshmook.blogspot.com/2010/01/little-taste-of-italy.html) For those of you who haven't cooked with brown rice before, it will have a different texture than white rice. So don't be fooled into thinking it's not ready, it will be ready after approximately 45 minutes.

Ingredients:

1 tsbp olive oil

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 cup brown rice

1 can of diced tomatoes

2 and 1/2 cups chicken broth

1/2 tsp of each: salt, cumin, dried basil and dried oregano

1/4 tsp of paprika

1/4 tsp black pepper

chicken thighs (about 2 per person)

-add garlic and rice, then stir for about 1 minute

-add seasoning, tomatoes and chicken broth

-place the chicken thighs on top

-bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat

-enjoy!
