Baked chicken thigh and rice recipe
There are a lot of recipes I love but not a lot I get truly excited about.
This recipe is so delicious and has the added benefit of being cooked in one dish. No need to precook either the chicken or the rice.
No extra dirty dishes, and the result is amazing! The rice here is magical and it pairs so well with the chicken.
A perfect recipe for busy moms who want a meal that everyone will love on the table in an hour.
