- 4 chicken thighs, bone-in, skin on
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 cup carrots, diced fine
- 2 stalks celery, diced

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F.

- Reduce the heat to medium and the carrots, celery, onion, and garlic to the pot. Saute for a few minutes or until fragrant and the onion is translucent.

- Put the lid on the pot and transfer to the oven for 35 minutes. The rice and chicken should be cooked through.
