2 cups long-grain white rice rinsed

Prepare the Chicken

Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, melt half of the stick of butter over medium heat.

Stir in the rinsed rice and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
