Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. In a 9x13 inch baking dish, combine 1 cup rice, 2 cups water, and 1 sliced onion. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Arrange 4 chicken thighs on top of the rice. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, salt, and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Scatter 2 chopped carrots, 2 cups cauliflower florets, 1 chopped red bell pepper, and 1 cup cherry tomatoes around the chicken.

  4. Step 4

    Drizzle everything with 2 tablespoons olive oil and toss the vegetables gently to coat.

  5. Step 5

    Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until chicken is golden and cooked through (165°F) and rice is tender, about 15 more minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Let rest for 5 minutes, then fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot.
