  • 1 * 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 * 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 * 2 (3 1/2-ounce) bags boil-in-bag brown rice
  • 1/3 * 1/3 cup dry white wine
  • 8 * 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 1 3/4 pounds)
  • 1 1/2 * 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
  • 1/2 * 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 * 2 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 * 3 tablespoons whipping cream
  • 1/3 * 1/3 cup (1 1/2 ounces) shredded Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 450°.

2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion to pan; sauté 2 minutes. Add garlic; sauté 30 seconds. Remove rice from bags; add to pan. Sauté 30 seconds. Stir in wine; cook 30 seconds or until liquid almost evaporates. Spoon rice mixture in an even layer into a 13 x 9–inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.

3. Arrange chicken thighs in a single layer over rice mixture; sprinkle evenly with thyme and salt. Combine broth and cream, stirring well; pour over chicken and rice mixture.

4. Bake at 450° for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake an additional 5 minutes or until chicken is done.
