Instructions

Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes, then add sliced mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms are soft.
Transfer the sautéed mixture into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the uncooked rice, dried thyme, and paprika.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, mixing well until every grain of rice is coated.
Pour the entire mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
