How to Make Baked Chicken And Rice With Honey Mustard Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 13x9 inch glass baking dish.
  3. Spread 1 ½ cups uncooked long-grain rice evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Arrange 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts on top of the rice.
  5. Pour 2 cups of chicken broth over the chicken and rice.
  6. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  7. Bake for 45 minutes.
  8. While the chicken and rice bake, prepare the honey mustard sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, ¼ cup honey, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  9. Remove the baking dish from the oven and uncover.
  10. Evenly spread the honey mustard sauce over the chicken.
  11. Return the baking dish to the oven and bake, uncovered, for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
  12. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
