Paprika Chicken Thighs And Rice Skillet Recipes

PAPRIKA CHICKEN & RICE BAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• In a large bowl, evenly season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, paprika, and parsley.
• On high, heat olive oil in a oven-proof pot and place chicken thighs, skin-side down, in the hot oil. Cook 5-6 minutes or the thighs develop brown crispy skin and flip over.
• Cook an additional 5-6 minutes to brown the other side and remove from the pot.
• Add the garlic and onions to the pot, and cook until the onions are transparent.
• Pour in the rice and chicken broth to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Stir well, bringing to a boil.
• Add the chicken thighs back into the pot, skin-side up, on top of the rice, bring back to a boil and cover with a lid.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked.
• NOTE: For a crispy skin, remove chicken thighs and broil.
• Enjoy!

MEXICAN-INSPIRED CHICKEN THIGH AND RICE SKILLET

Steps:

• Combine salt, granulated garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl.
• Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Sprinkle seasoning mix evenly over both sides of chicken thighs.
• Combine butter and olive oil in a deep-sided, 11-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; cook until butter is melted and foamy. Swirl the butter and oil together and place chicken thighs in the skillet in a single layer. Cook until just brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan with tongs and set aside. Keep warm.
• Reduce heat to medium and add onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, until the onion starts to turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in rice and chili powder; cook and stir until rice begins to pick up some color, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Stir in drained tomatoes and garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add reserved tomato liquid, chicken broth, and water; bring to a boil. Adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
• Place browned chicken thighs on top of the rice mixture; do not submerge. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes.
• Remove cover, increase heat to medium, and gently stir in thawed peas. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve warm.
