Provided by Chef Jeff

Categories     Chicken Thighs

Time 5h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 chicken thighs
1 ½ cups blue cheese dressing (such as Ken's®)
cooking spray (such as Pam®)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 stalks celery, chopped and leaves reserved
⅓ large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups white rice
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning blend (such as Tony Chachere's®), or to taste
1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs
¼ cup Parmesan-Romano cheese blend

Steps:

  • Place chicken thighs in a large resealable bag; pour in blue cheese dressing. Coat chicken with dressing, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 420 degrees F (216 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir celery in the hot oil for 1 minute. Add onion; cook and stir until onion is glossy and softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook for 30 seconds. Transfer onion mixture to the prepared baking dish; return skillet to burner.
  • Pour remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil into the skillet; cook and stir rice in the hot oil until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Mix chicken broth, rice, and vinegar into the onion mixture in the baking dish. Remove chicken from marinade and arrange in the baking dish, creating 2 rows of chicken thighs side by side. Discard remaining marinade. Sprinkle each chicken thigh with Cajun seasoning. Coat chicken thighs with 1 cup panko crumbs. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Remove aluminum foil from dish. Mince the reserved celery leaves. Sprinkle chicken thighs with remaining 1/2 cup panko crumbs and Parmesan-Romano cheese; sprinkle minced celery leaves over chicken.
  • Continue to bake chicken until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 10 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Turn on the oven's broiler and broil chicken until browned and crisp, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Chicken: Choose a whole chicken or chicken pieces that are free-range, organic, or air-chilled for better flavor and texture.
  • Marinate the Chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, spices, and citrus juice enhances its flavor. Experiment with different marinades to find your favorite combination.
  • Use Quality Ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful cheeses, and high-quality rice will elevate the overall taste of your dish. Opt for organic and local ingredients whenever possible.
  • Cook the Rice Perfectly: Whether you prefer fluffy white rice or nutty brown rice, follow the recommended cooking instructions on the package. Use the right amount of water or broth to achieve the desired consistency.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Overcooked chicken can become dry and tough. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165°F (74°C) for whole chicken or 180°F (82°C) for boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
  • Let the Dish Rest: After baking, allow the dish to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the chicken and rice, resulting in a more flavorful and moist dish.

Conclusion:

These Bleu Baked Chicken and Rice recipes offer a delightful combination of flavors, textures, and aromas. From the crispy, golden-brown chicken skin to the tender, juicy meat and flavorful rice, these dishes are sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate. Whether you prefer a classic baked chicken with rice casserole or a more modern one-pan dish, there's a recipe here to suit your taste and cooking style.
