THE BEST CHICKEN AND RICE
Could classic chicken and rice be one of the most beloved comfort dinners to ever hit the plate? We think so. And to blow your mind even more, this version is made in just one skillet. Here we use bone-in, skin on chicken thighs which cook up in exactly the same time as the rice to guarantee juicy chicken. A quick broil at the end creates the perfect crispy skin and gives a little crunch to the rice and vegetables.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss the chicken with the paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Place the chicken skin-side down in the skillet and cook undisturbed until the skin is golden but not too dark, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate using a metal spatula and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet.
- Add the carrots, celery and shallots to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but not yet turning golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, thyme, oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook just until you begin to smell the garlic, about 1 minute. Stir in the rice and cook undisturbed until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Pour in the broth, add 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir to combine, then add the chicken thighs back to the pan, skin-side up. Bring the liquid to a boil then cover, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove the lid from the pan and broil until the chicken skin is crispy and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the chives.
EASIEST CHICKEN RICE & VEGGIE CASSEROLE
Even though I can't eat chicken, this recipe is so ridiculously easy that sometimes I make it for my husband and daughter when I'm tired. It takes 10 minutes to throw together and has all the important food groups in it! If you use chicken thighs, its SUPER CHEAP too. Feel free to sub whatever "Cream of..." soup you like, we just happen to like mushrooms. Update: I think people were missing the part of the instructions that called for the 2 soup-can-fulls of water so I'm adding it into the recipe. This recipe is intentionally on the bland side, making it kid friendly or open to whatever spices and seasonings you prefer!

Steps:

- Place chicken on top. Sprinkle with additional paprika and pepper if desired.
- Bake uncovered at 375 for 1 hour.
Tips:
- For the chicken, you can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If using chicken breasts, slice them into thin strips or cubes for even cooking. If using chicken thighs, trim off any excess fat and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- Feel free to add or substitute vegetables according to your preference or what you have on hand. Some good options include broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, bell peppers, or zucchini.

- If you don't have a large skillet, you can cook the chicken and vegetables in batches. Just be sure to adjust the cooking times accordingly.
- Be sure to season the chicken and vegetables generously. This will help to bring out their flavor.
- If you like a creamy casserole, you can add a cup of sour cream or cream of chicken soup to the mixture.
- Serve the casserole hot with a side of rice, pasta, or bread.
