Baked Lemon-Pepper Chicken and Rice

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 6 medium bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

  • 1 tablespoon lemon-pepper seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon salt, divided

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided

  • 2 tablespoons salted butter

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 1 ½ cups chicken stock

  • 1 ¼ cups water

  • 1 ½ cups long-grain white rice

  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F / 175 C.

  • Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

  • Season chicken thighs with lemon-pepper seasoning, 1 1/2 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, rubbing the seasoning into both sides of the chicken.

  • Cook chicken in the hot oil until browned, about 4 minutes per side.

  • Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.

  • Melt butter in the the same pot and stir into the drippings.

  • Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes.

  • Turn off burner.

  • Pour in chicken stock and water, scraping the bottom of the Dutch oven with a wooden or plastic spoon to loosen any browned bits.

  • Stir in rice, lemon juice, remaining 1 1/2 tablespoon salt, remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and pepper. Place the chicken on top of the rice and cover with the lid.

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

  • Uncover and remove the chicken to a plate using tongs.

  • Stir rice from bottom to top then place the chicken back on top of the rice.

  • Cook, uncovered, until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is soft, about 15 minutes.
