Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then sear in the skillet 2 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then stir in the rice and coat with oil.
Step 4
Pour in chicken broth and bay leaves, then nestle the seared chicken thighs back into the rice.
Step 5
Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 12 minutes until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through.
Step 6
Squeeze lemon juice over the dish, fluff with a fork, and serve straight from the skillet.
