Stick-of-Butter Rice with Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

• 6 Boneless, skinless chicken thighs (Season both sides; the transcript does not specify the individual seasoning amounts.)
• Onion powder (To taste.)
• Paprika (To taste.)
• Salt (To taste.)
• Black pepper (To taste.)
• Cooking spray (For coating the baking dish.)
• 2 cup Long-grain rice
• 2 can Unspecified canned ingredient (The speaker says, “Two cans of this,” but the type and can size are not identifiable from the supplied transcript.)
• 1 can French onion soup (Can size not specified.)
• 1 stick Butter (Melted.)

Steps

1. 1

   Season six boneless, skinless chicken thighs on both sides with onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Pat the seasoning into the chicken, then turn the thighs over and season and pat the second side in the same way.

2. 2

   Set the seasoned chicken aside. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling the raw chicken.

3. 3

   Spray a baking dish with cooking spray to coat it.

4. 4

   Pour 2 cups of long-grain rice into the prepared baking dish.

5. 5

   Pour the two cans of the unspecified canned ingredient into the baking dish over the rice.

6. 6

   Pour one can of French onion soup into the baking dish.

7. 7

   Pour the melted stick of butter over the rice and soup mixture.

8. 8

   Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the rice mixture.

9. 9

   Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake at 350°F for 1 hour.

10. 10

    Remove the aluminum foil, increase the oven temperature to 400°F, and return the dish to the oven for 15 minutes.

11. 11

    Check the chicken. The speaker found that it needed approximately 15 additional minutes, so continue baking as needed; the total cooking time at this stage was about 1 hour 15 minutes before checking.

12. 12

    Fluff the rice with a spoon and return the dish to the oven for approximately 8 minutes, until the chicken is browned on top.

13. 13

    Remove the dish from the oven. Cut the chicken apart with a spoon or serving utensil and serve. French green beans are suggested as a side dish.

Notes

The transcript does not identify the ingredient represented by “two cans of this,” nor its can size, so the recipe is incomplete at that point. The creator’s timing is approximate and includes 1 hour at 350°F, 15 minutes at 400°F, about 15 additional minutes after checking, and a final approximately 8-minute return to the oven. Chicken should be fully cooked before serving.
