Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 chicken thighs
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup uncooked Basmati rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • 2 Roma tomatoes diced
  • 1 cup carrots thinly sliced
  • 1 cup green beans
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms diced
  • 2 stalks celery thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion diced
  • 1/4 cup bell peppers
  • 4 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Add oil to an oven-safe pan with a lid. Place chicken thighs in pan and sprinkle with seasoned salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Brown chicken on both sides.
  • Remove the chicken from pan. (I like to place it the upturned lid, so I don't dirty another dish).
  • Add the broth to the pan. Heat over medium-high heat until it reaches a boil. Remove from heat.
  • Add the rice, oregano, basil, and thyme to the pan. Stir to combine. Add the tomatoes, carrots, green beans, mushrooms, celery, onions, peppers, and garlic.
  • Place the thighs on top of the vegetables. Cover with the lid and bake at 450 degrees for 25 minutes or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid.
