Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In an ungreased 10-inch baking dish, combine the drained mushrooms, sliced celery, chopped onion, brown rice, and minced garlic. Sprinkle thyme, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper evenly over the mixture. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Measure the reserved mushroom liquid and add enough water to reach 3/4 cup total. Pour this liquid mixture over the rice in the baking dish. Arrange the chicken thighs on top of the rice mixture, skin-side up. Brush the chicken skin with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Carefully remove the aluminum foil and continue baking until the chicken skin is beautifully browned and crispy to your preference, approximately 30 to 45 minutes more. (1 hour 45 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine or chicken broth to the rice mixture. This will infuse the rice with a richer taste.
Ensure the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) for safety. A meat thermometer is your best friend here!
Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile to your liking. Rosemary, sage, or paprika would be excellent additions.
If you prefer a saucier dish, you can add a can of diced tomatoes to the rice mixture.

    I found that 40 minutes uncovered was perfect for browning the chicken skin. Thanks for the recipe!
