Instructions

Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if necessary, then toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onions become translucent.

Add the arborio rice to the skillet. Stir it around for about 1-2 minutes, allowing the grains to absorb the flavors from the onion and garlic.

Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the dried thyme and return the chicken to the pan. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes.

Once the rice is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and frozen peas, mixing until well combined. Simmer for another 5 minutes.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Optionally sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Notes

A comforting one-pan meal that brings the family together, with a rich, creamy texture and supreme flavor.
