In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear on both sides until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add onion, garlic, bell pepper, and carrot. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Stir in the rice and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing it to toast slightly.
Return the chicken to the pot. Add chicken broth, salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme. Stir to combine, bringing the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the chicken is tender.
Stir in the peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.
Serve warm and enjoy your comforting One-Pot Chicken and Rice.
