Prep Time

Cook Time

The total cooking time is around 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 cup of uncooked long-grain yellow rice
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 cups of chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper

Equipment

  • Large baking dish
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the rice, chicken broth, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Transfer the rice mixture to a large baking dish. Arrange the chicken on top of the rice mixture.
  6. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.
  8. Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired.

Notes

Make sure to use long-grain yellow rice for this recipe – it has a slightly nutty flavor and a beautiful golden color. You can also use brown rice, but it will take longer to cook.

  • If you want to add some extra flavor to the chicken, try marinating it in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and your favorite spices for a few hours before cooking.
