Ingredients

Dry Rub

  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp paprika

Chicken

  • 4 large skin-on bone-in chicken thighs (or 6 small (about 2 lbs total))
  • 4 cloves garlic, grated or minced
  • 1 cup diced red onion
  • 1 cup thinly sliced mushrooms (baby bella or cremini)
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme
  • 1 tsp fresh oregano (roughly chopped)
  • 1 lemon zested and juiced
  • 3 TBSP olive oil or avocado oil

Rice

  • 1 cup uncooked basmati rice
  • 2 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions 

  • Mix seasonings for dry rub; set aside.
  • Toss chicken with dry rub, then sear skin-side down in hot oil until golden, 2-3 minutes. Flip and sear other side, then set aside.
  • Sauté garlic, onions, mushrooms, and herbs until fragrant, then deglaze with a splash of chicken stock.
  • Add remaining stock, stir in rice, place chicken on top, cover, and simmer 30-40 minutes until rice absorbs liquid and chicken reaches 165°F.
  • Finish with lemon juice and zest, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
