Scallion Chicken and Rice for Two

A simple one-pan dinner for two where seared chicken thighs and scallions cook with rice until tender and fragrant.

Published May 8, 2026, 12:39 PM EDT | LehighValleyLive

This one-pan recipe delivers a chicken dinner for two that's built on three main ingredients: scallions, chicken and rice. The scallions are used in two ways, cooked down until soft and sweet to form the base, then scattered fresh at the end for a sharp, allium lift. Chicken thighs are seared until golden, slowly rendering their fat, which becomes the backbone of the dish. That fat coats the rice as it cooks, giving each grain a rich, savory depth. As it simmers, the rice absorbs all those juices, turning tender and fragrant. It's simple, comforting cooking, where the main ingredients are given the space to really shine.
