Here is what you'll need!

Hidden Veggie Chicken & Rice
Servings: 5

INGREDIENTS

5 chicken thighs
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried oregano
2 zucchinis, grated
1 cup rice
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
1½ cups chicken broth

PREPARATION

1. Preheat oven to 400˚F/200˚C.
2. Season the chicken thighs in a bowl with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, dried basil, and dried oregano. Mix until thoroughly coated with the seasoning.
3. On high, heat olive oil in a ovenproof pot and place chicken thighs, skin-side down, in the hot oil. Cook 3-4 minutes or until the thighs develop brown crispy skin, and flip over. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes to brown the other side, and remove from the pot.
4. Grate both zucchinis with a box grater.
5. Add the grated zucchini into the pot, along with rice, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
6. Lay the chicken on top of the rice mixture and cover.
7. Bake for 30 minutes or until the chicken’s internal temperature reads 165˚F/75˚C.
8. Optional: Remove chicken and broil 1-2 minutes to crisp skin even more.
9. Enjoy!
