Start by rinsing your rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes the starch and helps the rice to cook evenly.
Next, in a large pot, saute your chopped onions in a little oil until they become translucent.
Add your tomato sauce to the pot along with your salt and red pepper flakes.
Pour in your chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, stir in your rice, reduce the heat to low, cover your pot, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, add your mixed vegetables and chicken thighs to the pot, cover it again, and let it cook for an additional 15 minutes.
