This was made the other day and it came out very tasty

I will admit though I left out the mushrooms

Country French Baked Chicken and Rice

Ingredients

1/4 cup chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained
1/2 tablespoons dried rosemary
1/2 tablespoons dried thyme
1/2 tablespoons dried oregano
1/2 tablespoons dried basil
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon salt
8 bone-in chicken thighs, skin and fat removed (about 2 lb)
1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 cup uncooked regular meduim-grain white rice
1 medium carrot, shredded (3/4 cup) (I used more)
2 cups boiling water
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel

Directions

1 In heavy-duty 1-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix tomatoes, rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil, oil, lemon juice, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Add chicken thighs and mushrooms; seal bag. Turn to coat thighs and mushrooms in marinade. Refrigerate 2 to 24 hours.

2 Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray

3 Place rice, carrot and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in baking dish; stir in boiling water. Place chicken thighs, mushrooms and marinade evenly over rice mixture.

4 Cover with foil. Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut. Sprinkle with parsley and lemon peel.


This comes out soo well and the meat is so moist and savory. I've used this technique with other meets and in fact made a terriyaki pork roast just last night using this exact baking method.

I've started using this for most of my rice dishes even if the meat is prepped separate since it allows you to make interesting rice mixes. allowing you to mix any vegetables and spice mixes into the rice

and for anyone following me no thats not any of my chickens, but they did love the left overs
