Chicken & Double Jasmine Rice image

This is my favorite chicken dish. The flavor is outstanding and the chicken is moist. I really had a hard time finding a rice that had good flavor. I found this small bag at the store, brought it home, made rice, and WOW was I hooked. On the back of one of my bags was this recipe.

1 Tbsp butter
8 chicken thighs, skinless and excess fat removed

Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 25 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed. (I use a temp probe @ 180 degrees in the chicken to make sure it is done..Add a little water if needed.)
