One-Pot Crispy Chicken and Rice image

This meal is so comforting and family friendly. My kids eat every morsel on their plates. This is also a super economical way to feed a family or a large crowd. Great served with green beans, broccoli, or a salad.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
6 (4 ounce) bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
⅔ cup finely chopped yellow onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups uncooked long-grain rice
3 cups chicken stock, divided, or more to taste
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 medium lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken thighs evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  • Place chicken skin-side down in the Dutch oven; cook undisturbed until golden crisp and easily released from the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip chicken and cook for 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Chicken will not be cooked through at this point.
  • Add butter to the drippings and melt. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute. Add rice; cook, stirring to coat grains in drippings and lightly toast, about 1 minute. Stir in 3 cups stock and remaining salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the Dutch oven. Place the chicken thighs over the rice.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until all liquid has been absorbed and chicken is cooked through, 45 to 55 minutes. Add remaining stock if liquid is absorbed before rice and chicken are cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley and squeeze lemon juice over the top.

I'm allergic to chicken, so I substituted tofu instead. It turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken didn't come out crispy.

I'm not a big fan of chicken and rice, but this dish was really good. The chicken was crispy and the rice was flavorful.

This was so easy to make and so delicious! I used brown rice instead of white rice and it turned out great.

I made this last night and it was a huge hit with my family. The chicken was crispy and juicy, and the rice was perfectly cooked. I will definitely be making this again.
