How to Make One Dish Chicken Rice Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup water, 1 cup long-grain white rice, 1 teaspoon paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Pour the rice mixture into a lightly greased 2-quart shallow baking dish.
  4. Arrange 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts on top of the rice.
  5. Sprinkle the chicken with an additional 1/2 teaspoon paprika and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Cover the baking dish with foil.
  7. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender. If the rice seems dry before the chicken is cooked, add a tablespoon of water at a time.
  8. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
