Spanish Chicken Bake

Ingredients

5-6 Chicken Thighs

1 1/2 cups Long Grain White Rice

1 15 oz can of Fire Roasted Tomatoes

1 15 oz jar of Pitted Green Olives w/ Pimento

Paprika

Salt & Pepper

Instructions

Heat a large pan with olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper and paprika. Brown skin side down first. Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Do not cook the chicken all the way, the purpose is just to give it a nice brown color.

In a large casserole dish, place the uncooked white rice in the bottom and place the browned chicken on top. Simply pour the can of roasted tomatoes on top of the chicken and rice. Then, pour the jar of olives, including the olive juice in with the chicken, rice and tomatoes. DO NOT ADD SALT because the olives are already salty there is no need to add more.

Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes covered or until the rice is fully cooked and serve. Then uncover and bake for another 10 minutes.

Notes

You can substitute white rice with brown rice. If so, first soak the rice for at least 30-45 minutes in water.

You can also use Barley or Quinoa as substitutions.

also made with brown rice and chicken stock. Had no peas so used broccoli instead. A winner. Kids especially loved it (first time they’d had brown rice). Will do again.

Cooked this for dinner tonight – it's very good and really easy. I used only 1 cup rice and skinless bone in chicken. The chicken was a little dry though. Do you leave skin on chicken?
