Follow these simple steps to create your One Pan Herb Butter Chicken and Zucchini Rice Pilaf:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Melt the Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the herb butter and let it melt completely.
3. Sear the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Add the Rice: In the same skillet, add the uncooked basmati rice and stir it in the remaining butter for about 2 minutes.
5. Incorporate Chicken Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, stir well, and bring the mixture to a boil.
6. Add the Zucchini: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, add the diced zucchini, and nestle the seared chicken back into the skillet on top of the rice mixture.
7. Cover and Cook: Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for 18-20 minutes. The rice should be tender and the chicken fully cooked.
8. Rest and Fluff: Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Let it sit covered for an additional 5-10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork.
9. Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.

Following these straightforward steps will ensure that you create a meal that is not just delicious but also visually stunning!
