Description

A comforting dish combining tender chicken, fluffy rice, and a creamy sauce, perfect for family dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Start by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  3. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add chopped onions and minced garlic. Cook until onions are soft.
  5. Stir in the rice and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Add the chicken broth and cream of mushroom soup. Mix well.
  7. Place the chicken back in the skillet, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the chicken is tender.
  8. Before serving, sprinkle fresh parsley on top for extra flavor.

Notes

Avoid overcooking the chicken to keep it juicy. For added flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or rosemary.
