A flavorful and easy-to-make chicken dish with a delightful spice blend, perfect for a hearty meal.
Mix all the spices and salt in a shallow dish.
Ensure the spices are well combined to evenly coat the chicken.
Coat the chicken thighs thoroughly with the spice mixture.
Press the spices onto the chicken to ensure they adhere well.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken thighs until golden on both sides.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to achieve a nice sear.
Transfer the seared chicken thighs to a greased baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 40 minutes.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken bakes, cook the basmati rice with cardamom, bay leaf, and salt in a saucepan according to package instructions.
Rinse the rice before cooking to remove excess starch.
Serve the baked chicken thighs over the aromatic rice and enjoy.
Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro for added flavor and color.
