Step 1
Season the 1.5 lb chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pot over medium-high and brown the chicken until golden on both sides, about 6 minutes total. Remove and set aside.
Step 2
In the same pot, add the 1 chopped onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in the 3 tbsp tomato paste and 1 tsp curry powder, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Add the 2 cups rice and stir to coat with the sauce. Pour in the 3 cups chicken broth and bring to a boil.
Step 4
Return the chicken to the pot, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve hot.
