Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is approximately 1 hour.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups of long-grain rice
3 cups of chicken broth
4 chicken breasts
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon of paprika
1/2 teaspoon of cumin
1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

Large skillet
9x13 inch baking dish
Aluminum foil

Method

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent.
Add the rice to the skillet, and stir to coat it with the onion and garlic mixture.
Add the chicken broth, paprika, cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper to the skillet, and stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
While the rice is simmering, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
After the rice has simmered for 20 minutes, transfer it to a 9x13 inch baking dish, and spread it out evenly.
Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice, and cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake the chicken and rice in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender and fluffy.
Remove the baking dish from the oven, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For additional flavor, you can add diced tomatoes, bell peppers, or peas to the rice mixture before simmering. You can also use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts if you prefer.

Recipe Tips

To ensure that the chicken cooks evenly, make sure that the pieces are roughly the same size. If your chicken breasts are particularly thick, you can pound them to an even thickness before seasoning and baking. To make this recipe even easier, you can use a store-bought rotisserie chicken instead of cooking the chicken breasts from scratch. Simply shred the chicken and stir it into the rice mixture before transferring it to the baking dish.
