If you’re looking for an easy and delicious dinner that requires minimal effort, Lipton Onion Soup Thighs with Rice is the perfect choice. This recipe uses simple ingredients like Lipton Onion Soup Mix, chicken thighs, and rice to create a flavorful, hearty meal. The rice turns out perfectly cooked and full of savory flavor, and the chicken thighs are juicy and tender. It’s a great way to use up those packets of Lipton Onion Soup Mix without the need for a roast!

Ingredients:

  • Chicken Thighs
  • 2 cups rice (uncooked)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can cream of chicken
  • 1 can cream of mushroom
  • 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix
  • Garlic powder (to taste)
  • Seasoning (your choice)
  • Shredded Parmesan
  • Panko breadcrumbs

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 13×9 baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the uncooked rice and chicken broth. Stir in the Lipton Onion Soup Mix, cream of chicken, and cream of mushroom soup. Pour this mixture into the bottom of the greased baking dish.
  3. Add the chicken thighs on top of the rice mixture. Sprinkle with garlic powder, your desired seasoning, and a generous amount of panko breadcrumbs for crunch.
  4. Top with shredded parmesan for an extra layer of flavor.
  5. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1 hour. After 1 hour, remove the foil and bake for an additional 25 minutes to allow the chicken to crisp up and the rice to absorb all the flavors.

This dish is perfect for a busy weeknight or when you want a comforting meal with minimal prep. The rice is so flavorful and pairs perfectly with the tender chicken thighs. Plus, it’s a great option for using up pantry staples while still creating a satisfying meal that everyone will love.

Chicken Fajitas and Rice

Chicken Fajitas and Rice

So, I took a lot of leftovers and sad-looking veggies. From there, I made Chicken Fajitas and Rice for dinner. No picture because when I do something new, I think if it sucks, why would I want to document that? Maybe this will be the year I am inspired to let my good and sucky food shine through photos.

Recipe

Chicken (I used boneless, skinless thighs because it is what I had on hand.)

Seasoning

Fajita mix (I used 3 packets)

Red, orange, and yellow peppers

Onion

Garlic

Queso Fresco

Flour Tortillas

2 c. uncooked rice

2 c. water

Teriyaki Sauce

Extra virgin olive oil (any oil is fine)

Preparations

For the rice, I used my instant pot. I placed my 2 c. uncooked rice in, then added a packet of fajita mix, a splash of teriyaki sauce, and my seasoning concoction. Set it and let it go.

I placed my cut-up chicken thighs in a bowl and added fresh garlic, seasoning, a fajita mix packet, and lots of teriyaki. Put the lid on the bowl and shake it up. Placed it in the fridge and let it marinate for at least an hour (overnight or several hours is better, though).

In my electric skillet, I added some extra virgin olive oil. I sliced up a large onion and all my peppers. I sauteed them with some seasoning and a few splashes of teriyaki sauce. Once those were softened, I took them out.

In the same skillet, I cooked my chicken until it was done. Once that was done, I added the veggies and used the other packet of fajita mix. I turned it on low and covered it until the rice was done.

Serve on the rice or wrap up in a tortilla with some queso fresco sprinkled. It was excellent!
