Easy Paprika Chicken & Rice Bake

Ingredients

for 5 servings

• 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 (75 g)
• 1 cup  long grain rice (200 g)
• 1 ½ cups  chicken broth (360 mL)
• salt, to taste
• pepper, to taste

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
2. In a large bowl, evenly season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, paprika, and parsley.
3. 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.
4. Cook an additional 5-6 minutes to brown the other side and remove from the pot.
5. Add the garlic and onions to the pot, and cook until the onions are transparent.
6. Pour in the rice and chicken broth to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Stir well, bringing to a boil.
7. 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.
8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked.
9. NOTE: For a crispy skin, remove chicken thighs and broil.
10. Enjoy!
