Making the baked chicken and rice casserole recipe
You only need a handful of ingredients. I’m all for simplicity and easy meal ideas, so needless to say – I enjoyed this meal.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil: This brings a rich flavor to the dish and helps to brown the chicken.
Chicken Breasts: Boneless and skinless for convenience. They become tender and juicy when baked with the rice.
Red/Yellow Onion: Adds a sweet and savory flavor to the dish, balancing out the richness of the chicken and rice.
Brown Rice: Provides a nutty flavor and chewy texture. (Note: White rice works just as well!)
Chicken Broth or Chicken Stock: Adds depth of flavor and moisture to the dish, enhancing the overall taste.
Sea Salt and Black Pepper: Season to taste for added flavor.
