Ridiculously Easy Baked Chicken With Rice Food

CHICKEN AND RICE BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Add the uncooked rice and frozen peas to a 9x13" baking dish or roasting pan (3 quart capacity) with 2 teaspoons of the seasoning and the salt. Stir to combine.
• Arrange chicken thighs over the rice, skin side up (trying to leave as much of the skin out of the liquid as possible).
• In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 teaspoons of seasoning with mayo and brush the mixture over the chicken thighs. Pour the boiling chicken stock into the pan around the chicken.
• Optional: cover the dish to keep in the moisture if desired, but it is not necessary. If you do cover the dish, remove the covering for the last 10-15 minutes to allow the chicken to brown.
• Bake for 45 minutes at 400 degrees F, or until rice is tender and chicken reaches 165 degrees F or more in the deepest part.
• Broil for 2-3 minutes to crisp up the chicken skin, but watch carefully so that it doesn't burn. Serve.

OVEN BAKED CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F.
• Scatter onion and garlic in a baking dish (about 10 x 15" / 25 x 35 cm), then place butter in the centre. Bake for 15 minutes (check at 12 minutes, mix if some bits are browning too much).
• Meanwhile, mix together Chicken Rub. Sprinkle on both sides of the chicken.
• Remove baking dish from the oven. Add rice then mix.
• Place chicken on rice. Then pour chicken broth and water around the chicken.
• Cover with foil, then bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil, spray chicken with oil (optional, gives chicken nicer finish), then bake for a further 20 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
• Stand for 5 minutes, then remove chicken and fluff up rice. Garnish with parsley or thyme if desired, serve and enjoy!

GARLIC RICE ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine rice, garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cayenne in a mixing bowl. Pour in butter. Mix until thoroughly combined. Cover and transfer into a refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly oil an oven-safe skillet or roasting pan.
• Loosen the skin on the top of the chicken near the legs, enough to allow a small rubber spatula to slide between the breast meat and the skin. Slowly push the spatula under the skin on either side of the breastbone, all the way to the front of the chicken, trying not to make the opening near the cavity too large.
• Stuff the chilled rice mixture evenly under the skin, one spoonful at a time, pushing it to the front as you go to get an even layer of rice on either side of the breastbone. Stuff as much as you can fit under the skin without tearing it, smoothing and shaping as you work, and then place the rest of the rice into the cavity.
• Place the chicken into the prepared roasting pan. Tie the legs together with a piece of kitchen string and season the skin with remaining salt.
• Roast in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove to a plate or cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
• While chicken is resting, add vinegar to the fat and drippings in the skillet or roasting pan and set it over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil while scraping all the caramelized bits from the bottom of the pan. Boil to reduce slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Strain if preferred. Serve with sliced chicken, garlic rice, and crispy skin.

EASY CHEESY CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Spread rice into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup Cheddar cheese over the rice; season with black pepper and salt. Arrange chicken breast halves evenly atop the rice and cheese layers. Dot chicken breasts evenly with rounded teaspoons of cream of chicken soup. Pour 3 cups water over the chicken and finish by sprinkling onion soup mix evenly over everything.
• Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Check rice for doneness; if water is already completely absorbed, add 1/2 cup more water to keep mixture moist. Continue baking until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese over the dish.
