How to Make Basic Chicken Rice

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, rice, broth, and your choice of vegetables (if using).
  3. Season generously with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices.
  4. Pour the mixture into a greased 13x9 inch casserole dish.
  5. If using cheese, sprinkle evenly over the top.
  6. Cover the casserole tightly with aluminum foil.
  7. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes of baking to allow the top to brown and the chicken to crisp slightly.
  9. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
