This one pan Mediterranean chicken is truly a wonder with lots of warm spices, lemon, and rice, all baked together into a complete meal. Marinating the chicken overnight really lets those flavors soak in.

Cooking Instructions
1.
Combine juice of the Lemons (2), Garlic (4 cloves), Truffle-Infused Honey (1 Tbsp), Dijon Mustard (1 Tbsp), Dried Parsley (1/2 tsp), Salt (1/2 tsp), Ground Cumin (1/4 tsp), and Ground Turmeric (1/4 tsp).
2.
Place mixture in a plastic ziplock bag along with Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs (5) and mix thoroughly to make sure chicken is coated. Seal the bag tightly and place it in the refrigerator to marinate overnight.
3.
he next day, get out a large skillet with deep sides and heat the Olive Oil (1 dash) in it over medium high heat. Remove the chicken from the bag right into the pan and reserve the marinade. Let the chicken brown for about 3-4 minutes on each side. While it cooks, preheat the oven.
4.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Transfer to a plate when done.
5.
Add the Lemon (1/2) to the pan and let them brown slightly for about 1 minute on each side. Remove them to the plate with the chicken.
6.
Add the Onion (1) and let it get fragrant for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the Long Grain White Rice (1 cup) and let it soften for about 30 seconds, then pour in the reserved marinade and Chicken Stock (2 1/3 cups). Let it come to a simmer, then add the chicken and the lemon back to the pan. Cover the pan with its lid and transfer it to the oven.
7.
Bake for 35 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for another 10 minutes.
8.
Sprinkle Fresh Mint (1 Tbsp) over top and fluff up the rice a little with a fork. Serve immediately right from the pan and enjoy!
Author's Notes
To roast garlic, cut the top off to reveal the tops of the cloves. Drizzle the top with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt, then wrap it in foil. Roast it in a 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for an hour, then refrigerate it and use it as needed! It keeps for a long time.
