Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 chicken thighs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
½ cup red onion, diced
1 cup long grain rice
1 ½ cups chicken broth
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
  • In a large bowl, evenly season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, paprika, and parsley.
  • On high, heat olive oil in a oven-proof pot and place chicken thighs, skin-side down, in the hot oil. Cook 5-6 minutes or the thighs develop brown crispy skin and flip over.
  • Cook an additional 5-6 minutes to brown the other side and remove from the pot.
  • Add the garlic and onions to the pot, and cook until the onions are transparent.
  • Pour in the rice and chicken broth to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Stir well, bringing to a boil.
  • Add the chicken thighs back into the pot, skin-side up, on top of the rice, bring back to a boil and cover with a lid.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked.
  • NOTE: For a crispy skin, remove chicken thighs and broil.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For crispy chicken, use chicken thighs with skin and bone. The skin will crisp up in the oven, and the bone will help the chicken stay moist.
  • If you don't have paprika, you can substitute another spice blend, such as chili powder, cumin, or oregano.
  • You can add other vegetables to the dish, such as bell peppers, onions, or zucchini.
  • If you want a creamier dish, you can add a cup of heavy cream or sour cream to the sauce.
  • Serve the dish with a side of rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles.
