heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat and gently fry the onion for 3-4 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and bring the mixture to the boil
then reduce the heat until the mixture is simmering and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the rice is tender.
Meanwhile
for the chicken
heat the oil in an ovenproof pan over a medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and freshly ground black pepper and fry for 2-3 minutes
until golden-brown on all sides. Transfer to the oven and roast for 12-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. (The chicken is cooked through when the juices run clear when pierced in the thickest part with a skewer.)
To serve
slice the chicken thigh meat. Spoon the broth into a bowl and top with the chicken thigh slices. Garnish with the chopped chives..
