Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6-8 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 6-8 medium button mushrooms sliced
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 5-6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups chicken broth low in sodium
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream 35% whipping cream

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F
  2. Heat the olive oil on medium heat in a large, oven-safe skillet with a lid.
  3. Salt and pepper the chicken thighs and then add them to the skillet. Brown the chicken for about 4-5 minutes each side. The chicken will not be done through.
  4. Take the chicken out of the pan. Drain any grease and leave a tablespoon or two in the pan.
  5. Stir the garlic, mushrooms, and onions into the pan. Continue to cook for about 4-5 minutes or until softened.
  6. Mix the parsley, thyme and salt together. Stir to combine.
  7. Stir in the chicken broth, cream and rice. Reduce the heat to low.
  8. Place the chicken on top of rice, and cover the skillet with a lid.
  9. Bake the skillet for 35 minutes in the oven. Continue baking the skillet for 10 minutes more, uncovered, or until the rice becomes tender.
