OVEN BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH RICE AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (392 Fahrenheit).
• Peel and chop the onions and garlic, add the butter and oil to an oven-safe dish, and let them cook for about 15-20 minutes until soft, but not brown.
• Rinse the rice, and add it to the dish together with the chicken thighs and mushrooms, then pour the stock over and cover the dish with a kitchen foil.
• Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the oil and cook for a further 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, the rice is fluffy, and all the liquid has been absorbed.
• Garnish with parsley and spring onions.
• To make the cucumber salad, slice the cucumber finely, add the soy sauce, sesame oil and rice vinegar, and toss well.
• Top with sesame seeds.
• Serve immediately!

BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pat thighs dry with paper towels. Combine garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle seasoning on both sides of the chicken thighs.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Swirl the pan to coat the bottom with the hot oil. Place seasoned thighs in the skillet and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn thighs and brown the other side, about 2 minutes. Transfer browned thighs to a plate and keep warm.
• Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the same skillet. Add mushrooms; cook and stir for about 2 minutes. Add smashed garlic cloves and herbes de Provence; cook and stir for 1 more minute.
• Move mushrooms to one side of the skillet and place 3 onion slices into the skillet. Place a browned chicken thigh on top of each onion slice. Move mushrooms to create an empty space in the skillet, and place the remaining onion slices and chicken thighs in the skillet.
• When all the onion slices and chicken thighs are placed, redistribute the mushrooms evenly around the skillet. Pour white wine over all and cover.
• Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake until chicken thighs are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Serve each chicken piece with a slice of the cooked onion and some mushrooms. Garnish with snipped chives or parsley.

CHICKEN, MUSHROOMS AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a casserole dish and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until golden, about 4 minutes.
• Sprinkle the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Push the onions and mushrooms to the side of the skillet, add the chicken skin-side down and and cook until the skin is browned, about 4 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate.
• Stir the rice into the onion and mushroom mixture and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the wine, bring to simmer and simmer for 1 minute. Stir in the soup and 1 1/2 cans of water and bring to a simmer.
• Pour the rice mixture into the buttered casserole dish. Place the chicken on top skin-side up and cover with a lid or foil. Bake, stirring in more water 1/2 cup at a time if the casserole starts to dry out, until the rice is tender, about 30 minutes.

BAKED MUSHROOM CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl combine the soup, milk, parsley and onion powder. Mix well. Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish or bowl; dip chicken thighs in soup mixture, then in crumbs, and place coated pieces in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Drizzle with melted butter and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes, or until chicken is nicely browned and cooked through (juices run clear).
• Meanwhile, place remaining soup mixture in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in cornstarch to thicken, and cook over low heat until heated through. Use this as a sauce when chicken is done.
