Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
Finely chop the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and parsley.
In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces and brown them on all sides for about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same pan, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for 2 minutes, stirring to coat the grains with the oil and butter.
Return the browned chicken to the pan. Add the herbes de Provence and bay leaf. Mix well.
Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a gentle simmer. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let the pilaf rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
Discard the bay leaf, fluff the rice with a fork, and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Serve hot and enjoy your French Chicken Rice Pilaf.
