Chicken and Rice Paprikash Casserole image

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 large onions, finely chopped
2 large red bell peppers, finely chopped
1 tablespoon sweet Hungarian paprika
1 teaspoon hot Hungarian paprika or 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 cups frozen brown rice, thawed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
6 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put the chicken in a 3-quart glass or ceramic baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until just cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic, onions, bell peppers and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. If the mixture becomes too dry, add a tablespoon or two of water. Stir in the sweet and hot paprika and cook for 1 minute; add the tomato paste and cook another minute, stirring. Add the chicken broth and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken to a plate. Spread the rice in the bottom of the casserole dish and top with the chicken and its accumulated juices. Pour the sauce over the whole mixture. Bake until the casserole is heated through and the top is browned lightly, 40 minutes. Top with the chopped parsley and serve with a dollop of sour cream.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality paprika: The quality of your paprika will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for a paprika that is bright red and has a strong, slightly smoky flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will result in soggy chicken.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the rice from burning.
  • Simmer the rice for the full time: Don't rush the rice. Simmer it for the full 18 minutes, or until all of the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: Once the rice is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the rice to absorb all of the flavors.

Conclusion:

This paprika chicken and rice bake is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and juicy, the rice is fluffy and flavorful, and the paprika sauce is rich and smoky. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
