Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1 cup long grain white rice
• 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
• 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the long grain white rice, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir until fully mixed.

Step 3

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 4

Pour the rice and soup mixture evenly into the bottom of the baking dish.

Step 5

Arrange the chicken thighs, skin-side up, over the rice mixture. Ensure they are distributed evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle paprika over the chicken for added color and flavor.

Step 7

Dot the top of the casserole with the unsalted butter, spreading it evenly across the surface.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Make sure there are no gaps to ensure the steam stays inside.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes. Do not open the foil or 'peek' during cooking!

Step 10

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the rice to set and absorb any remaining liquid.

Step 11

Serve the chicken and rice warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
