- 1 onion, chopped
- cup butter, softened
- 2 cups water
- 6 chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon Italian-style seasoning
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350F (175C).
- In a small bowl, dissolve the chicken bouillon cubes in 1 tablespoon of water.
- In a medium bowl, combine the uncooked rice, chopped onion, and softened butter.
- Pour in the bouillon mixture and the 2 cups of water. Mix everything thoroughly.
- Transfer the rice mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Place the chicken thighs on top of the rice mixture and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.

Tips
For best results, use smaller chicken thighs. If desired, you can parboil the chicken before baking and remove 2 cups of water from the pot for a more flavorful base.
