Ingredients
  

  • 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1 can 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can 10.5 ounces chicken broth
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables peas, carrots, corn
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, chopped onion, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Spread the rice mixture evenly in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  4. Place the chicken thighs on top of the rice mixture, skin side up.
  5. Sprinkle the frozen mixed vegetables around the chicken in the baking dish.
  6. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
  8. After 1 hour, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  9. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For added flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in your favorite seasoning blend or buttermilk for a few hours before cooking.
  • Substitute the cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken soup for a different flavor profile.
  • You can also use brown rice instead of white rice; just adjust the cooking time as brown rice typically takes longer to cook.
