Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs - 1 cup long-grain white rice - 1 onion, chopped - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 2 cups chicken broth - 1 teaspoon dried oregano - 1 teaspoon paprika - Salt and pepper to taste - 2 tablespoons olive oil

Equipment

- 9x13 inch baking dish - Mixing bowl - Whisk - Measuring cups and spoons

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. 2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. 3. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. 4. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. 5. Flip the chicken and cook for another 2-3 minutes. 6. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. 7. Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. 8. Add the rice to the skillet and stir to coat in the onion and garlic mixture. 9. Pour the chicken broth mixture over the rice and stir to combine. 10. Place the chicken thighs on top of the rice mixture. 11. Cover the skillet with foil and bake for 45 minutes. 12. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is fluffy and golden brown.

Notes

- For extra flavor, try using homemade chicken broth instead of store-bought. - You can add your favorite vegetables to the rice mixture, such as diced bell peppers or sliced mushrooms. - Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Recipe Tips

- Make sure to use a large enough skillet or baking dish to fit all of the ingredients. - If the chicken skin isn't crispy enough for your liking, you can broil it for a few minutes at the end of cooking. - You can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs if you prefer, but they may not be as juicy and flavorful as bone-in, skin-on chicken.
