Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 cup White or brown rice
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of mushroom soup
- 1.5 cups Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for seasoning chicken)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray or oil.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rice, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
Pour the rice mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Place the chicken thighs on top of the rice mixture in a single layer, skin side up.
Brush the melted butter over the chicken thighs to add flavor and help with browning.
If desired, sprinkle paprika over the chicken for added color and flavor.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Ensure it is sealed well to trap the steam during cooking.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes. DO NOT remove the foil or peek during cooking, as this will release the steam needed for the rice to cook properly.
After 90 minutes, carefully remove the dish from the oven and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Uncover, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your No Peek Chicken with a side of vegetables or a fresh salad!
