8 boneless chicken thighs, with skin
1/2 cup olive oil
2 cups chopped onion
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 cups converted long-grain white rice
2 1/2 teaspoons salt

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Cook rice until golden, stirring constantly, about 10 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, green chiles, and chicken broth. Place chicken thighs on top, then bring to a boil, cover, and place in the preheated oven.
