How to Make Oven Chicken And Rice

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a 13x9 inch baking dish, combine 1 can (10.75 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup water, 1 cup long-grain white rice, ¾ teaspoon dillweed, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
Arrange 1.5 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or 4-6 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts) on top of the rice mixture.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake for 45 minutes.
Remove foil. Sprinkle chicken evenly with ½ cup crushed crackers, 1 teaspoon paprika, and the remaining ¼ teaspoon dillweed.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the chicken and rice.
Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.
