Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup brown rice
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup fresh parsley
1/2 cup fresh cilantro

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the chicken thighs.
Roast the chicken thighs in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until cooked through and golden brown.

Serve the roasted chicken thighs on a bed of cooked brown rice and top with the salsa verde.
