Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken thighs evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Place chicken skin-side down in the Dutch oven; cook undisturbed until golden crisp and easily released from the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip chicken and cook for 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Chicken will not be cooked through at this point.
- Add butter to the drippings and melt. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute. Add rice; cook, stirring to coat grains in drippings and lightly toast, about 1 minute. Stir in 3 cups stock and remaining salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the Dutch oven. Place the chicken thighs over the rice.
- Bake in the preheated oven until all liquid has been absorbed and chicken is cooked through, 45 to 55 minutes. Add remaining stock if liquid is absorbed before rice and chicken are cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley and squeeze lemon juice over the top.

EASY CHICKEN THIGHS AND RICE ONE POT MEAL
I was looking for a fast, simple recipe using chicken thighs (hubby loves these) and rice.Something that wasn't the usual "pour on a can of soup". I found a good "base" idea on "AllRecipes, (contributed by "Carol B.) The original recipe called for boullion and water, I think the stock is much tastier so started my changes there. I added the celery to the onion which was called for, and because I had asparagus in the fridge I thought that would be nice as well. I used paprika because I thought it could use just a splash of color. If I had not been lazy I would have diced up some pimento or roasted red pepper. This is the kind of easy "pantry" recipe that would lend itself to your tastes and pantry. So now this recipe is posted and I am adding this "after the fact" Made the dish for dinner and it was bland, flat and without the asparagus would have been completely tasteless. Added the ingredients listed below, and helped tremendously. I still think that this is a great "base" recipe....play with it.
