Baked Chicken Thighs With Mushroom Brown Rice
  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    In an ungreased 10-inch baking dish, mix the mushrooms, celery, onion, rice, and garlic. Sprinkle the thyme, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper over the top.

  3. 3

    Add enough water to the reserved mushroom liquid to make 3/4 cup and pour it over the rice mixture in the baking dish. Arrange the chicken on top, skin-side up. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove the aluminum foil and continue baking until the skin is browned to your liking, 30 to 45 minutes more.
