One Pot Spanish Chicken & Rice

Directions

• In a small bowl whisk together all ingredients for the Spanish seasoning mix. Divide in half and set aside.
• Place chicken in a medium bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil, then toss to coat well. Use half of the prepared seasoning mix to rub on both sides of each piece of chicken.
• Drizzle a large skillet with remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and bring to medium heat. Saute the garlic, carrots for 3-5 minutes until slightly cooked. Put aside then add the chicken thighs and cook for 2-3 minutes each side (just brown them, don’t fully cook them). Transfer to a plate.
• Add rice, chicken broth, 1/2 lemon juice, broccoli florets, cauliflower rice, carrots & garlic and remaining seasoning mix. Return chicken to the pan on top of the rice. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes until liquid is absorbed, rice is tender, and chicken is cooked through.
• Garnish with lemon slices and freshly chopped coriander or parsley and serve immediately.
