Instructions
1
Place the chicken thighs on a cutting board and rub salt and pepper on it.
2
Add some olive oil to a pan or frying pan and add the chicken. Sear all sides until golden brown.
3
Chop a garlic clove and finely chop an onion. Peel and slice the carrot and dice the mushrooms.
4
Lightly fry all of the vegetables over medium heat in the same pan used to cook the chicken. If you need to add more oil, add 1 tablespoon.
5
When the vegetables are tender pour in the white wine and continue cooking the vegetables for several more minutes. The alcohol will slowly start to evaporate.
6
Place the seared chicken in the pan and cover with 1 1/2 cups water. Add salt and let it cook over medium heat for 30-40 minutes.
7
While the chicken is cooking, take advantage and cook the rice if you don't have any already made. For this, add a tablespoon of olive oil in a pot, and once it is hot, add the sliced clove of garlic. When it begins to lightly brown, add the rice. Stir it for a couple of minutes before adding the hot water with a pinch of salt. Cook over high heat for 7 minutes and then turn down the heat to low and cook for 8 more minutes. If in this time, it absorbed all of the water and is still hard, add more water. Let it sit for a little bit.
8
Serve the chicken on your plate followed by the rice.
