INGREDIENTS

  • 4 skinless chicken thigh
  • ½ cup onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 3 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cups white rice
  • 2 cups hot chicken broth
  • 1 ½ cups hot water

Chicken Rub

  • 2 teaspoon paprika powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black pepper

Garnish

  • Fresh minced parsley
  • ½ teaspoon safran optional

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Turn the oven on to 200°C (400°F).
  • In a baking dish, scatter the garlic and onion, and then put the butter in the middle. Bake for fifteen minutes.
  • In the meantime, combine the chicken rub. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides.
  • Take out of the oven the baking dish. After adding the rice, stir.
  • Put the chicken over the rice. Next, cover the chicken with water and chicken broth.
  • Bake for 40 minutes after covering with foil. Take off the foil, grease the chicken (optional, gives it a prettier finish), and bake it for another 20 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed.
  • After five minutes of standing, take out the chicken and fluff up the rice. If preferred, garnish with parsley, then serve and savor!

NOTES

  • Storage: Keep any leftover dish for up to three or four days in the refrigerator, carefully wrapped. Warm up again in the microwave.
  • Freezing: Tightly wrap the fully cooked dish in foil and freeze it for up to three months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then bake, covered, at 350°F until well heated. Although this is a possibility, I don't strongly advise it due to the increased risk of the rice and chicken overcooking.
