For an even richer flavor, consider using chicken broth instead of water. Ensure the Dutch oven is large enough to comfortably hold all ingredients to prevent overflow. Adjust cooking time based on your oven; rice should be tender and chicken fully cooked. Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon zest for a vibrant finish.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
02
StepHeat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with 1 teaspoon salt, lemon-pepper seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, rubbing into both sides. Add to Dutch oven; cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate; set aside.
03
StepMelt butter in drippings in Dutch oven. Add onion; cook and stir occasionally, 2 minutes.
04
StepOff heat, pour in chicken stock and water, scraping bottom of the Dutch oven with a wooden or plastic spoon to loosen any browned bits. Stir in rice, lemon juice, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and black pepper. Place chicken on top of rice; cover with the lid.
05
StepBake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Uncover; transfer chicken to a plate using tongs. Stir rice from bottom to top; return chicken to top of rice. Cook, uncovered, until all liquid is absorbed and rice is soft, about 15 minutes more.

Dec 6, 2024I used brown rice instead of white rice and it worked great, just needed to add about 15 minutes to the cooking time.
