Rice with Chicken Thighs, Raisins, and Soy Sauce

Cook Chicken Thighs In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté Onion and Garlic In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add Rice Add the rice to the skillet and stir to coat it with the oil and onion mixture.

Add Seasonings and Liquids Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, ground cumin, paprika, and turmeric. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Simmer Rice Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and tender.

Add Chicken Thighs and Raisins While the rice is cooking, return the chicken thighs to the skillet and nestle them into the rice. Sprinkle the raisins over the rice and chicken.

Finish Cooking Cover the skillet again and continue to simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded together.

Serve Serve the rice with chicken thighs, raisins, and soy sauce hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or green onions if desired.
