DinnerOven70 minServes 6
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb boneless chicken thighs
- 1 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
- 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 onion, diced
Amounts are scaled from the original 6 servings; cooking times may change for bigger batches.
Steps
- Heat the oven to 375°F.
- Spread the rice and onion in a 9x13 dish and pour in the hot broth.
- Lay the seasoned chicken on top, cover tightly with foil and bake 45 minutes.
- Add the broccoli, re-cover and bake 10 minutes, then uncover, top with cheese and bake 5 more. Chicken should read 165°F and the rice should be tender.
Swaps
- Water plus a bouillon cube or a spoon of soy sauce can replace broth.
- Quinoa, couscous or riced cauliflower can stand in for rice.
- Turkey works the same way as chicken; cook both to 165°F.
Times are a guide; ovens and air fryers vary. Cook poultry to 165°F, ground meat to 160°F, and pork and fish to 145°F. Diet tags come from the ingredient list; check labels for allergens.
