Super Easy Baked Chicken and Rice
Meet your new go to family friendly dinner! Whats not to love? Easy, delicious, family friendly and affordable, gotta love that! This is a really lovely recipe you can really change many ways or add different spices for different flavors, As mentioned, you can skip the searing (although if I’m being honest, I don’t really recommend since it adds not only great texture but also great flavor) just use boneless skinless thighs and season them on both sides before adding to the rest of the ingredients.
Recipe:
6 Bone in, Skin on, Chicken Thighs
4 Tbsp of Olive Oil
2 Tbsp of Garlic and Herb Seasoning
1 Tbsp of Smoked Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups of Long Grain Rice
4 Cloves of Garlic, minced
3 cups of Chicken Stock, hot

What’s the ratio, rice to chicken stock please ?
How much chicken stock ?
Where can i find that 15 degree abs looking container?
Asparagus and wild rice would be delicious in this! Need to make this SOON! 😊
I make a simular dish, however, before I add the chicken broth, I mix either a can of cream of mushroon soup or cream of chicken soup with the rice.
I have a 50 year old recipe I often make, very similar to this, but you add green onions, orange juice, grated orange rind, raisins soaked in the orange juice, and pine nuts, it works with any rice. I use whatever rice I have.
Laura, what brand of pans do you prefer?
Great video however I started making it and watched the video twice to find out what’s the oven temperature to cook it. No directions on that. I am cooking it at 380degree. I hope it works 😅
Couldn’t find recipe either and you don’t give oven temp?
Yes, chicken CAN get crispy skin in the oven! You put the chicken in the oven first at 200-220°C for about 20-30 mins. It will get so nicely cooked! In the meantime, you WASH the rice! You can even soak it in some water for 5 mins to get the starch out. Then you pre-cook the rice with some onion, garlic, and even mushrooms in the pan. You add the rice and coat it in the oil. It has to absorb some oil first. Then you add the stock. Once most of it has evaporated, you transfer the rice into the dish where the chicken has been cooking. You take the chicken out, put the rice and then place the chicken on top. Then comes the main trick. You lower the temperature of the oven to 150°C (as rice hates high temperature) and cook the rice and chicken for another 20 mins or until the rice is cooked and the stock fully absorbed. It works wonderfully every time! No need to pre-fry the chicken. And my herbs of choice for this are oregano and bay leaf. Enjoy!
I turned this Mexican and used same process but substituted with Mexican seasonings and it was delicious!
Sooo good!! Made this last night!!! 🎉🎉
What’s the temperature? I must be blind
i made a baked chicken and rice dish the other day and didn't sear in the skillet first and i was left with flappity flap chicken skin in the oven! thank you for sharing this tip and explaining! life saver!
What temperature should the oven be? How much more liquid for brown rice and how much longer to bake? What are the dimensions of the baking pan, I ask because it looks deep from here. Thanks! 🙂
Does this have an episode number? I can't find this recipe on your website. I'm looking for the instructions. Maybe create a search box to use the whole title of the episode…?
Oven temp!?!?
I can't find this recipe on the website. I put in the title Super Easy Baked Chicken & Rice. What am i doing wrong? Has anyone else been able to get it?
Can’t find the recipe.? I’ll figure it out. Your recipes never disappoint.
I always partially fry or cook my Chicken Rice Dish for the same reason. Don't care for Mushy Chicken or other Meats. Thanks Laura! You're the Best!
😂It’s always a NO to the “flappity flap” where chicken is concerned! ❤This dish is dreamy!
Not sure if I missed it but I did not hear what temperature to set the oven. I picked 350, coming out now, wish me luck hope I did the right thing!
What temp was the oven? The full recipe is not available when I follow the link…
Oven temp is?
I really want to make this tonight! I cannot find the recipe anywhere on the website! I searched the specific name and also just chicken and can’t find it!
Oh no recipe on website and now I don’t know what temperature to set for oven 😢
What is the oven temperature?
I made this recipe last night and it turned out fantastic. The rice was perfectly cooked and the entire dinner was amazing! Highly recommend!
You seared the Thai pieces in the skillet there was so much flavour in there. You could have added the stock and took all those flavour in the stock and then add it into the rice. It would have given much more flavour
Can’t go wrong with a classic like this! Adding this to my weekly meal rotation! 😍
I miss your opening/closing sound/music! ❤
Hi Laura I made the chicken thighs / rice dish in the oven. Yummy and so easy. I took your advice and added fresh spinach at the end. So delicious. Thanks
I can’t find the recipe on her website and I need to know what is the oven temperature
