Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 4 Chicken Breasts

Grains

  • 2 cups Long Grain Rice

Liquids

  • 4 cups Chicken Broth

Vegetables

  • 2 cups Frozen Mixed Vegetables

Spices

  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika

Dairy

  • 1 cup Cheese (your choice)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your dish bakes evenly and thoroughly.
  2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and your choice of vegetables. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
  4. Layer the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Pour the rice and broth mixture over the chicken, making sure the rice is evenly spread out.
  5. Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. This traps the steam and allows the rice to cook perfectly without peeking. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes.
  6. Add Cheese and Finish Baking: Remove the foil and sprinkle cheese on top. Return the dish to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh chicken and vegetables will enhance the flavor of your dish.
  • Don’t Skip the Cover: Keeping the dish covered is key to achieving perfectly cooked rice.
  • Adjust Cooking Time: Depending on your oven, you might need to adjust the baking time slightly.
  • Let it Rest: Allow the dish to sit for a few minutes after baking for the flavors to meld beautifully.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Don’t hesitate to experiment with different spices and herbs to find your perfect blend.
