step 1
In a small bowl, combine Salt (1/2 Tbsp), Granulated Garlic (1 tsp), Granulated Onion (1 tsp), and Ground Black Pepper (1/4 tsp) and mix. Now season your Bone-In Chicken Thighs (4 lb) on both sides.
step 2
On medium heat, preheat a large skillet. Once preheated, add Oil (1 Tbsp) and place chicken thighs skin side down.

Brown chicken for 5 minutes on each side. Once chicken is browned place on a baking sheet and set aside until needed.

After removing chicken, in the same skillet add Onion (1/2) and sauté until onions are softened and translucent.
step 5
In a large measuring cup or bowl, combine Water (8 fl oz) and Chicken Bouillon Powder (1 Tbsp). Now add mixed chicken broth to sautéd onions and deglaze the pan.
step 6
Once the broth is gently simmering, add Heavy Cream (16 fl oz), Sharp Cheddar Cheese (2 cups), and combine well using medium-low heat.
step 7
Take Butter (1 Tbsp) and butter your baking dish. Now add all of your chicken broth cream mixture to baking dish.
step 8
To the cream mixture, add Basmati Rice (1 1/4 cups) and combine. Next add Broccoli Florets (1 bag). Then arrange browned chicken thighs on top. Cover baking dish tightly with foil.
step 9
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
