  1. Begin by placing the chicken thighs at the bottom of your crockpot. Season them with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  2. In a separate bowl, mix together the chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with their juices), chopped onion, minced garlic, paprika, thyme, and oregano.

  3. Pour this flavorful mixture over the chicken in the crockpot. Ensure the chicken is submerged in the liquid for maximum tenderness.

  4. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

  6. Gently mix everything together, then continue to cook on high for another 30 minutes or until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.

  7. Once ready, give the dish a final stir to combine all the ingredients evenly.

  8. Serve hot and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors and textures that came together effortlessly in your crockpot.
