Spanish Chicken Rice

This one is super easy! I was on a deadline...I had gotten home a bit late and had nothing defrosted. Mission: cook a quick, yummy dinner in limited time! I took some frozen chicken thighs out of the freezer and went.

3-4 chicken thighs or breasts (fresh or somewhat defrosted)
1 box Near East brand Spanish Rice
Olive Oil, about 2 tablespoons
Onions -- some fresh chopped or dehydrated
Water, or chicken broth

Preheat oven to 375*

In a casserole dish, pour rice into the bottom; add olive oil (about 2 tablespoons)
Add about 1/2 cup of water/chicken broth. Put chicken on top of rice and sprinkle the onions and spice packet from the rice to the mix. Put in oven for about an hour, or until chicken is tender and cooked throughout. You can cover the dish with foil after about 30 min if the rice starts to get crunchy.

Enjoy!
