Vejledning

Place the chicken thighs in a freezer bag or medium sized bowl. In a small bowl whisk together the remaining chicken ingredients and pour over the chicken thighs. Massage the marinade into the chicken, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Heat a couple teaspoons of olive a large oven safe skillet over medium-high heat, swirl to coat the bottom. Add the chicken thighs being careful not to crowd them and cook for 4-6 minutes, flipping them over half way through the cooking time. Remove the chicken from the skillet onto a plate, it should not be fully cooked.

Lower the heat to medium and add a tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, swirl to coat the bottom. Add in the onion and sauté 2 minutes. Add in the garlic, oregano and dill and sauté another 30 seconds. Stir the rice into the mixture and then pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil then cover with a lid or foil and put it in the preheated oven.

Cook the rice for 15 minutes then remove it from the oven and nestle the chicken into it. Cover and bake another 10-15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed, rice is tender and chicken is cooked through. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything and garnish with chopped flat leaf parsley and fresh dill if desired.
