– 1 teaspoon garlic powder

2. Sear the Chicken:

– In a large skillet or pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

– Add the seasoned chicken thighs and sear for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

3. Make the Sauce:

4. Cook the Rice:

5. Combine and Simmer:

– Return the seared chicken thighs to the pan, placing them on top of the rice.

– Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.

6. Add Vegetables:

– In the last 5 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the frozen mixed vegetables over the chicken and rice. Cover again and let them steam until heated through.

7. Serve:
