Paprika Chicken and Rice Bake

Looking for a chicken dish that only uses a few simple ingredients, with so much flavor and minimal effort, this one is for you. Not only is it delicious but a perfect no-fuss weeknight meal like my Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole and Baked Chicken and Gravy.

Why this recipe works

This easy paprika chicken recipe has tender chicken on a bed of flavorful rice with lots of smoky paprika. A one-pot dinner that doesn’t skimp on flavor and that the whole family will love like my Ground Beef and Rice Skillet.

Ingredients Needed for Paprika Chicken

All the ingredients needed for this recipe

  • Chicken: I prefer to use bone-in chicken thighs but boneless skinless chicken thighs will also work or even chicken legs.
  • Rice: Jasmine or Basmati rice
  • Paprika: I recommend smoked paprika, but regular paprika will work in a pinch.
  • Onion: I like to use red onion for this, but a white or yellow onion will also work.
  • Chicken broth: Low sodium to help reduce the salt.
