✅Ingredients

• 2 cups white rice
• 1 medium white onion, diced
• 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
• 5 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 4-6 whole chicken thighs
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)

✅Instructions

1️⃣ 00:10 - Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan.

2️⃣ 00:15 - Stir rice, onion, 3 tablespoons melted butter, and flour together directly in the 9x13 pan until flour has no more visible white specks. Spread rice mixture out evenly on the bottom of the pan. Pour in chicken broth, heavy cream, salt, and pepper and stir to combine.

3️⃣ 01:26 - Place chicken thighs on top of rice mixture. Brush remaining melted butter on top and sprinkle chicken with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and paprika (optional).

4️⃣ 02:09 - Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.

5️⃣ 02:20 - Remove foil and bake another 30 minutes until rice and chicken are cooked through and the chicken skin crisps up. For crispier skins, place under the broiler setting for 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve hot.

I watch her because I like her AND her recipes are great! I want her cookbook!

Another hit! Wife said it reminded her of her grandmother’s casserole. ❤️

chicken thighs are my favorite part of the chicken! Paprika is delicious. Grandma always made killer 'Chicken Paprika'. Nice job.

[scottev]

Not sure this recipe was for me, then you hit it with the butter and heavy cream. Italian seasoning, I'm sold!😂

[MyBlindMamasMessyKitchen]

what a delicious and easy sounding meal. I bet it smells amazing.

[helenwong]

This baked chicken and rice is super perfection !!! I can't wait till I make it in winter !!! Thanks for sharing !!!

[lauradeaton]

I made this tonight and it was great. The only problem I had was that the rice wasn't done all the way. I used long grain rice and cooked it for the 1 1/2 hrs. I put sliced mushrooms on the top, it is definitely a keeper recipe 😁

[kathylind]

Very tasty, made them to night. Added carrots and a side apple salad. Moist, tender. Delish!

[grammyb]

YUMMY 😋 This looks so good and it’s different than any recipe I’ve seen for Chicken and Rice. I can’t wait to try it. Thank you so much. 💗🙏

[jamesbrowne]

Great stuff. I'm adding celery, green peppers and mushroom to the rice to get some more veggies in it.
