- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 chicken thighs
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 3 large yellow onions, cut into 8 wedges
- 6 celery stalks, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 6 medium carrots, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 bay leaves
- 3 cups brown rice
In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium high. Season chicken with salt and pepper and place in pot. Cook until golden brown on both sides, 10-12 minutes. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from pot, add onion and celery. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 20 minutes.
Add carrots, bay leaves, and 3 1/2 cups water, stir in rice and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice absorbs almost all the liquid, 40-45 minutes. Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes before serving.
Serves 12
