Oven Baked Chicken and Rice

 Oven Baked Chicken and Rice

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 cups long grain rice, rinsed

3 1/2 cups chicken broth

1 large onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large oven-safe dish, combine the rice, onion, garlic, chicken broth, paprika, thyme, and olive oil.

Place the chicken thighs on top of the rice mixture.

Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil or a lid and bake for 50 minutes.

Remove the cover, and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken skin is crispy and the rice has absorbed all the liquid.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
