Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 chicken thighs
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried oregano
2 zucchinis, grated
1 cup rice
½ teaspoon garlic powder
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 ½ cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
  • Season the chicken thighs in a bowl with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, dried basil, and dried oregano. Mix until thoroughly coated with the seasoning.
  • On high, heat olive oil in a ovenproof pot and place chicken thighs, skin-side down, in the hot oil. Cook 3-4 minutes or until the thighs develop brown crispy skin, and flip over. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes to brown the other side, and remove from the pot.
  • Grate both zucchinis with a box grater.
  • Add the grated zucchini into the pot, along with rice, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
  • Lay the chicken on top of the rice mixture and cover. Bake for 30 minutes or until the chicken's internal temperature reads 165˚F (75˚C).
  • Remove chicken and broil 1-2 minutes to crisp skin even more (optional).
  • Serve chicken on bed of rice mixture.
  • Enjoy!
