Did something different out of lazyness [View all]

I had chicken thighs which I seasoned and browned in a frying pan. Set them on a plate and drained most of the excess fat.
Then I made my Spanish/Mexican rice in the pan dumping the rice into the oil and brownign it a bit then added tomato paste and the spices. A bit later I added the water. Brought it to a boil and set the chicken back into the pan. Put a lid on it and dropped the temperature down until the rice was done.
