4 servings
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 lb total)
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium leek (white and light-green parts only), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
- 1 small fennel bulb, cored and thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
- 1 ½ cups long-grain white rice
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- ½ cup water
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and cut into ¼-inch rounds
For serving

Instructions

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season all over with the salt.
- 2
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and releases easily from the pot. Flip and sear the second side for 3 minutes, then transfer the chicken to a plate.
