Ingredients
- 6 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks
- 2 cups white rice basmati is fine
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 lemon juiced and zested
- 3 cans cream of mushroom soup 10.5oz per can
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/3 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a bit of oil.
- Next, add the rice, broth, 3 cans of soup, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the pan. Stir to combine.
- After that, arrange the chicken pieces on top of the rice and drizzle the melted butter over the chicken and rice.
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, oregano, basil, and paprika.
- Cover the baking pan with foil and bake for 1 1/2 hours.
