Ingredients | Crock Pot Recipes For Pot Roast

1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika, divided

½ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon black pepper

4 (8 ounce) bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

2 teaspoons olive oil

½ cup chopped green onions

½ large yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips

4 cups loosely packed torn curly kale

½ cup unsalted chicken stock

1 (8.8 ounce) package UNCLE BEN'S® READY RICE® Spanish-Style Rice

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 pinch Salt to taste

Directions

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, garlic powder, and pepper; sprinkle evenly over both sides of chicken.

Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to pan, skin-side down. Cook until skin is lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn chicken over; cook 3 minutes. Remove chicken from pan (it will not be completely done at this point).

Add green onions and bell pepper to drippings in pan; saute 2 minutes. Add kale and chicken stock; cover and cook 2 minutes or until kale is lightly wilted. Stir rice, vinegar, and remaining 1 teaspoon smoked paprika into kale mixture. Nestle chicken on top of rice mixture. Bake at 400 degrees F until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of a thigh registers 165 degrees F, about 22 minutes.
