Ingredients
- 6 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup 1 can
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup raw long-grain white rice
- fresh parsley optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13-inch casserole with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Pat the chicken dry and sprinkle evenly with seasonings.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the soup, broth, and rice together.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, then nestle the chicken into the rice.
- Cover the pan with foil and bake for 35 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking for 10-15 more minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked to 165°F.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes before fluffing the rice and serving. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- A serving is approximately 1 chicken thigh and ⅔ cup cooked rice.
- ⅔ cup cooked rice.
- Storage: Store baked chicken and rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Be sure to remove the skin from the thighs to avoid greasy rice.
- Be sure to place the chicken pieces an even distance apart to ensure they cook evenly.
- The casserole will cook more quickly if you boil your chicken broth before adding it.
- For extra-crispy chicken, broil the casserole for a few minutes at the end of baking.
