Ingredients


4 thigh(s) Chicken thighs, bone-in, skinless
2 clove(s) Garlic (sliced)
16 green onion (stem) Green onion
1 cup Arborio rice
1 cup White wine, dry
2/3 medium Lemon (1 small, thinly sliced)
2 cup Chicken broth (stock)
1/4 cup Thyme, fresh
29 gm Parmesan cheese, grated (for serving)

Instructions


  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Heat about a Tbsp. of olive oil in an iron-skillet or any oven-safe skillet and sear the chicken, skin-side down until golden and crisp, about 6 minutes. Flip and brown on the reverse side, about 2 minutes. Remove from pan, place on a plate, and set to the side.
  2. Drain off most of the chicken fat from the pan, leaving just a thin coating. Add the garlic and scallions and sauté until the garlic is golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the rice, season, and toast for about a minute. Pour in the wine and simmer until the rice has absorbed most of it.
  3. Return the chicken to the pan, skin-side up, along with any accumulated juices. Tuck the slices of lemon around the chicken along with a few sprigs of thyme. Add chicken stock to cover the rice. Most of the chicken should be submerged. 
  4. Transfer to the oven and bake until the rice is tender and creamy and the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes. Remove the thyme stems. Grate a bit of Parmesan over the finished dish and serve.
