Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
5 medium bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
½ teaspoon garlic powder, divided
2 tablespoons salted butter
1 medium onion, diced
1 ½ cups chicken stock
1 ¼ cups water
1 ½ cups long-grain white rice
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with lemon-pepper seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, rubbing the seasoning into both sides of the chicken. Cook chicken in the hot oil until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
Melt butter in the the same pot and stir into the drippings. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Turn off burner.
Pour in chicken stock and water, scraping the bottom of the Dutch oven with a wooden or plastic spoon to loosen any browned bits. Stir in rice, lemon juice, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and pepper. Place the chicken on top of the rice and cover with the lid.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and remove the chicken to a plate using tongs. Stir rice from bottom to top then place the chicken back on top of the rice. Cook, uncovered, until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is soft, about 15 minutes.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

3 tablespoons lemon pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 lb chicken thighs with skin
4 tablespoons butter
1 yellow onion, diced
1 ½ cups arborio rice
¼ cup white wine
4 cups chicken broth
1 ½ cups milk
pepper, to taste
1 cup parmesan cheese
¼ cup fresh parsley, optional

Steps:

Combine lemon pepper, paprika, and 2 cloves of minced garlic in a small bowl.
In a large oven-proof pot, heat olive oil on medium heat. Season both sides of the chicken and place in the pot skin side down. Cook for three minutes, turn the heat up to medium high and cook for an additional two minutes (or until browned). Turn the chicken over and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside. (Don't worry! It will finish cooking when you put it in the oven.)
With a paper towel, carefully wipe out excess fat, leaving the seasoning.
Preheat your oven to 350˚F (175˚C).
On medium high, melt two Tbsp. of butter in the pot and add the diced onions and the rest of the minced garlic. Cook until onions are translucent (1-2 minutes).
Add the rice and stir until it becomes translucent (1-2 minutes).
Pour in the white wine and let it cook until most of the wine has evaporated (about two minutes).
Add the chicken broth, one cup of milk, and a dash of pepper and stir. Bring it to a simmer.
Place the chicken back into the pot. Cover with a lid or foil and bake for 30 minutes (remove lid after 20 minutes).
Remove the chicken from the pot and broil on high for 2-3 minutes or until the skin has nicely browned.
Add the other two Tbsp. butter, parmesan, ½ cup (118 ml) of milk and parsley to the rice. Stir until well combined. Return the chicken on top of the rice.
Enjoy!
