Our Family Favorite Chicken & Rice Dinner
I'm not the most fabulous cook but I do make a few dishes that are pretty darned good and this is one of them! It's so simple and it's hearty for a crowd, too!
Ingredients
- 8-10 Chicken Thighs, bone in Can use a mixture of legs and thighs.
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- 1 Tbsp Avocado Oil
- 2 C. Jasmine Rice
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Seasoning Salt
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 1/4 C. Milk
- 2 1/2 C. Chicken Broth or Water I recommend chicken broth - it adds so much to the flavor!
- 1/4 C. Butter
Instructions
- Heat your frying pan and add 1 Tbsp of butter and the avocado oil. Once the pan is warm, add chicken and sear until browned on both sides. I like to also add salt to the chicken at this point - just a sprinkle or two to each piece.
- While the chicken is searing, put rice, all seasonings, milk, remaining butter, and water in a greased 9X13 pan. Stir well.
- Once the chicken is fully seared, add to the top of the rice mixture and bake at 350 for 1 hour.
