Buttery, garlicky mushrooms and rice team up with perfectly seasoned, juicy chicken in this Easy Oven Baked Chicken and Rice<\/strong> recipe. This chicken is so easy to put together, you\u2019ll wonder why you haven\u2019t tried it before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Normally, one pan chicken and rice recipes start on the stove top first to sear chicken and render out the fat to get it ultra crispy, just like my much-loved Spanish Chicken And Rice<\/a> or my One Pan Tomato Basil Chicken & Rice.<\/a> Other recipes fry onion and garlic first before adding in rice. With this oven baked chicken and rice recipe, there is no need for any of that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How? You\u2019re going to use skinless chicken thighs (with the bone-in if you can find them for extra juicy chicken pieces), coated in an incredible flavoured rub. You can use any additional seasonings you like: dried basil or oregano, rosemary, onion powder or whatever you have at hand!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mouthwatering baked chicken thighs, coated in a beautiful rub, baked on top of fluffy soft rice, all made in the oven. Dinner doesn\u2019t get any better than this one dish wonder! I mean, who doesn\u2019t love perfectly baked chicken and steamy, fluffy rice? Two ingredients that were meant <\/em>to be together; kind of like Garlic Naan<\/a> and Butter Chicken<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, you\u2019ll also have the option to add in plump garlic butter mushrooms that rival even my famous Garlic Mushrooms<\/a> recipe!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
