Let’s walk through this delightful recipe step by step.
Getting Started: Ingredients and Prep
Before we embark on this culinary adventure, let’s gather our ingredients. For the baked chicken, you’ll need:
- Chicken thighs
- Olive oil
- Knorr’s chicken seasoning
- Parsley
- Oregano
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Thyme
- Black pepper
For the mushroom rice, make sure you have:
- Onion
- Garlic
- Butter
- Chives
- Chicken seasoning

Seasoning and Baking the Chicken
Now, it’s time to infuse our chicken thighs with an explosion of flavors. In a bowl, mix olive oil, Knorr’s chicken seasoning, parsley, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and black pepper. Rub this flavorful concoction all over your chicken thighs, ensuring that each piece is generously coated. Let the chicken marinate for a while to soak in all those delicious flavors.
Once marinated, preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Place the seasoned chicken thighs in a skillet, skin side down for that perfect crispy texture, and pop it into the oven. Bake for around 45 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is golden and crispy. The aroma that will fill your kitchen is simply irresistible!
Creating the Mushroom Rice Magic
While the chicken is baking to perfection, let’s turn our attention to the star of the side dish – mushroom rice. In a skillet, sauté onions and garlic in butter until they turn golden and fragrant. Add in the sliced mushrooms and let them cook down until they are tender and juicy.
Next, toss in the rice and stir to coat it with all the flavorful juices in the pan. Season with chicken seasoning, salt, and pepper to elevate the taste profile. Add a generous sprinkle of chives for that fresh, onion-like flavor that will brighten up the dish. Let the rice cook until it’s fluffy and infused with all the mushroom goodness.
Putting It All Together
Once your baked chicken is crispy and golden, and your mushroom rice is fluffy and flavorful, it’s time to plate up this delectable meal. Place a portion of the mushroom rice on a plate, top it with a succulent piece of baked chicken, and garnish with some fresh chives for a pop of color.
You can also prepare buttery mushrooms on the side to add an extra layer of richness to your mushroom rice dish. Simply sauté some sliced mushrooms in butter until they are caramelized and luscious, and serve them atop your rice for a gourmet touch.
