Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs chicken thighs boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup brown rice dry
  • 2 cups bone broth chicken or beef
  • 15.5 oz kidney beans canned, drained and rinsed
  • 5.3 oz boursin cheese we use garlic and herb flavor
  • 1 oz onion soup & dip dry mix

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Add the 1 cup brown rice, 2 cups bone broth, 1 oz onion soup & dip dry mix, and 15.5 oz kidney beans to a braiser or oven-safe casserole dish (something big enough to spread the chicken in a single even layer). Mix these ingredients together, then nestle in 1.5 lbs chicken thighs evenly around and place the 5.3 oz boursin cheese in the center.
  • Cover and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. There will likely still be liquid left so remove the lid and continue to bake for another 5 -15 minutes uncovered. The time it takes to bake uncovered will depend on the type of pan you use. We used a braiser, which is a shallow, wide dish, and it took 5-7 minutes to cook off the excess liquid. If you use a Dutch oven or a skinnier, deep dish, it can take up to 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, let cool, and enjoy! You can cut the chicken into pieces or shred it. We like to use a hand mixer to shred the chicken up.

Notes

Storage: You can keep leftovers for up to 5 days in the fridge. Or freeze it for up to 3 months. 
Using white rice is fine, but it will cook quicker than brown rice, so check on it 10 minutes sooner than noted in the recipe. 
Fresh greens: Try finishing your dish with parsley, chives, or mix in spinach.
