For extra flavor, try browning the chicken thighs in a skillet before placing them on the rice. This adds a delicious depth of flavor to the dish. Feel free to experiment with different types of rice, such as brown rice or basmati rice. Keep in mind that the cooking time may need to be adjusted depending on the type of rice used. Add vegetables to the rice mixture, such as peas, carrots, or chopped bell peppers, for a more complete meal. If you don't have Italian seasoning, you can use a combination of dried oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme. Make sure the chicken is fully cooked and reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before serving. If the rice appears to be drying out during baking, add a little more chicken broth to the dish.
