Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit

Prepare rice according to directions listed on the package

Add rice to a 9x13 baking dish (enough to cover the entire bottom of the dish)

Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add enough to cover the bottom of the skillet and coat both sides of the chicken thighs.

Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.

Reduce heat and add minced garlic to the olive oil and saute for one minute

Add chicken skin-side down to the pan with the olive oil and cook for 15 minutes until each side is golden brown

Add cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and mushrooms to a bowl

Use a paper town to brush a tiny amount of olive oil around the bottom and sides of the baking dish

Add chicken on top of the rice, then sauce mixture

Cover with foil and bake for 45-50 minutes

Uncover and cook for an additional 20 minutes
