Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir the onion and celery in the hot butter until the onion is slightly tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and cook for 1 more minute, stirring often. Mix in the water and rice mix; bring to a boil, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.

In a large bowl, mix the condensed soup, sour cream, and curry powder until well combined. Stir about 1 1/2 cups of the soup mixture into the rice and set aside 1/2 cup of the soup mixture for later.

Spread the rice mixture in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper and arrange them over the rice. Cover the chicken thighs with the reserved 1/2 cup soup mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.

Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken thighs are no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 50 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh near the bone should register 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
