Creating the One Pan Greek Lemon Chicken and Rice Skillet is as easy as following these clear steps:

1. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Season the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs or breasts with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme.
3. Sear the Chicken: Add the chicken to the skillet, cooking for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Onion and Garlic: In the same skillet, add the diced onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
5. Add Rice: Stir in the rice, allowing it to toast slightly for about 2 minutes.
6. Add Broth and Lemon: Pour in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir to combine, ensuring any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet are included.
7. Return Chicken: Nestle the seared chicken back into the skillet, ensuring it’s covered by the broth and rice.
8. Simmer: Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
9. Fluff and Serve: Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork, adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, and garnish with fresh parsley.
