One-Pan Lemon Herb Chicken and Rice

"A simple yet flavorful one-pan dish featuring tender, herb-roasted chicken and fluffy rice infused with lemon and garlic, perfect for a weeknight meal."
Ingredients
All Steps
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium baking dish, combine the rice, chicken broth, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, half of the chopped parsley, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well.
Pat the chicken thighs dry and season them with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper.
Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs over the rice mixture in the baking dish. Place a few thin lemon slices on top of the chicken.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
Garnish with the remaining fresh parsley before serving.
