Preparation procedure

Preparing the vegetables: Peel the onion and chop it finely. Peel the carrots and slice them into rounds. Wash the tomatoes, remove the hard parts and grate them on a coarse grater.
Preparing the baking tray: Grease the tray with a little vegetable oil. Layer the vegetables on the tray – the onion, carrots and grated tomatoes. Add the crushed garlic, tomato paste, salt, ground red paprika, pepper, bay leaf and parsley. Mix everything well.
Adding the chicken: Place the chicken thighs on the vegetables, which you have salted and seasoned beforehand. Coat each piece of meat well with the sauce on the tray.
Baking the chicken: Put the tray with the chicken into a preheated oven at 200 °C. Bake for 40 minutes.
Preparing the rice: Meanwhile, cook the rice in a pot according to the instructions on the package.
Finishing the baking: After 40 minutes, turn the chicken so that the top is submerged in the sauce. Bake for another 12 minutes.
Finishing the dish: After baking, remove the chicken thighs from the tray and add the cooked rice to the drippings. Mix well so the rice is coated in the drippings and absorbs the flavor.
Serving: Serve the chicken thighs with the rice and optionally garnish with fresh parsley.
