Last night’s thunderstorm called for a delicious cozy meal ⛈ This One Pot Crispy Chicken Thighs & Rice recipe was the best meal I’ve had in a long time. I wasn’t feeling very inspired this week so I stole this recipe from my bestie and WOW I am so glad I did. She makes it all the time and I finally gave it a try. Definitely did NOT disappoint. It’s also perfect for a Monday night since you’ll have lots of leftovers. Give it a shot and I can promise it will make its way into your weekly rotation. Thanks T 😘
