Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Coat the chicken thighs in the marinade, ensuring they're evenly covered. Let them marinate at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  • In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin side down.
  • Sear for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown. Flip the chicken and sear the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan, then add the rice and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir well until the rice is evenly distributed.
  • Place the seared chicken thighs on top of the rice, skin side up, and drizzle any remaining marinade over them.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.
  • Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Fluff the rice with a fork and enjoy!
