Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken legs
- 1 cup long-grain rice
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. Rub the spice mixture generously over the chicken legs.
- Place the rice in the prepared baking dish and pour the chicken broth over it, stirring to combine.
- Nestle the seasoned chicken legs on top of the rice mixture and drizzle with olive oil.
- Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for about 45 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C). Remove foil in the last five minutes for a crispy finish.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken legs before cooking. Substitute brown rice, adjusting cooking times, or add vegetables for added nutrition.
