Oven Baked Chicken with Lipton Onion Soup Mix

I carefully chose the ingredients to make this dish extra delicious. I used bone-in chicken thighs because they stay juicy and tender. I also added baby potatoes and green beans for a wholesome meal. The highlight of this recipe is the Lipton Onion Soup Mix. It gives the chicken and vegetables a rich flavor that makes every bite taste amazing.

    Notes

    • Cut of Chicken: Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and legs retain moisture and add flavor. For chicken breasts, baste with extra sauce to prevent dryness.
    • Vegetables: Feel free to add carrots, zucchini, or bell peppers for variety.
    • Double Sauce: Make extra sauce for drizzling over the chicken and vegetables before serving.
    • Meal Prep: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
    • Rice: Use long-grain white rice for the best texture. Brown rice requires additional liquid and cooking time.
    • Chicken Placement: Place the chicken skin-side up for a crispy top.
    • Liquid Ratio: Ensure the broth-to-rice ratio is accurate for fluffy rice.
    • Flavor Boost: Add a splash of white wine or a teaspoon of soy sauce to the broth for extra flavor.
    • Leftovers: Reheat in the oven to maintain the crispy texture of the chicken.
