This is my kind of spring dinner! One pan, super simple, but still feels a little special. 
Lemon, artichokes, peas, and cozy chicken rice. Fresh but comforting at the same time 🌿

One-Pan Lemon Chicken with Artichokes, Peas & Rice

Servings: 4
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 35 minutes

Ingredients
	•	4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
	•	1 cup long-grain rice (rinsed)
	•	1 small onion, finely chopped
	•	3 cloves garlic, minced
	•	2 1/2 cup chicken broth 
	•	1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and halved
	•	1 cup frozen peas
	•	Zest + juice of 1 lemon
	•	2–3 tbsp olive oil
	•	Salt + black pepper
	•	Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Pat the chicken dry and season generously with salt, pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet (cast iron works beautifully) over medium-high heat. Place chicken skin-side down and cook until deeply golden and crisp, about 5–7 minutes. Flip and cook another 3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, lower heat to medium. Add onion and cook until soft and lightly golden. Add artichokes and give them a nice sear. Stir in garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the rinsed rice and stir for 1–2 minutes so it lightly toasts and picks up the flavors in the pan.
Pour in broth and scrape up any browned bits. Season again. 
Nestle the chicken back into the skillet. Cover and transfer in the oven  at 350 F for about 30-35 minutes, until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.
Stir in the peas during the last 5 minutes so they stay bright and tender. Finish with lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice, and fresh parsley.
