1. Cut 1 pound of chicken thighs into smaller pieces.
2. In a medium sized pot or shallow pan heat 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil.
3. Place chicken thigh pieces into the heating oil. Add in a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for 7 minutes.
4. Chop 1 medium sized onion and add to the chicken. Sauté for another 3 minutes.
5. Chop or grate 3 medium carrots, add to the onion. Turn the heat to the lowest.
6. Peel 2 cloves of garlic, add the whole 2 cloves to the chicken. (you can take the garlic out after cooking, if you don’t like to eat it)
7. Add 2 cups of water.
8. Taste the water! This is where you want to make sure you have enough seasoning. I added 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Add to your own taste.
9. Wash 1 1/2 cups of rice. Using a strainer was the rice until water pours clear.
10. Add the rice to the chicken, don’t need to stir.
11. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 30 minutes. Give it a gentle stir and simmer for another 10 minutes. There should be no water left when done.
