Step 1
Pat chicken dry. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it foams. Sear chicken 4 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add remaining 2 tbsp butter and garlic to the skillet. Stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 4
Pour in wine and scrape up any brown bits from the pan bottom. Let it bubble for 1 minute.
Step 5
Stir in rice until coated. Pour broth over, nestle chicken thighs back in, add herb sprigs, and bring to a boil.
Step 6
Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 12 minutes until rice is tender and liquid absorbs. Fluff with a fork. Serve hot.
