  3. Remove any black or burnt bits from the pan, and add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan over medium high heat. - Add the onions to the skillet with the oregano, turmeric, and cumin. Saute until the onions become translucent.
  4. Add the garlic and basmati rice and saute it until the rice begins to turn golden. - Add the water, chicken powder, salt and bring to a simmer. Place the cooked chicken thighs directly on top of the rice. Once the broth has begun to simmer, transfer into lagsana pan or foil baking pan cover with the lid or with a foil transfer to the oven to continue cooking.
