OVEN BAKED CHICKEN AND RICE



Oven Baked Chicken and Rice image

Recipe VIDEO above. Made entirely in the oven (no stove!), the rice in this recipe is outrageously delicious! It's buttery and garlicky, tender but not mushy. The secret tip is to briefly bake onion with garlic and butter before adding the rice, liquids and chicken - it adds a great flavour base!

CHICKEN AND RICE BAKE

This easy Chicken and Rice Bake has just 7 ingredients and is so easy to customize! Get a healthy dinner on the table with minimal effort and maximum flavor.

Provided by Ashley Fehr

Categories     Main Course

Time 53m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups basmati rice (315 grams)
1 1/2 cups frozen peas (250 grams)
4 teaspoons seasoning mix (8 grams (I used Mrs. Dash no-salt))
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 chicken thighs (2lbs, bone-in, skin on)
3 tablespoons mayonnaise (45 grams)
2 1/2 cups chicken stock (590 ml, boiling)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Add the uncooked rice and frozen peas to a 9x13" baking dish or roasting pan (3 quart capacity) with 2 teaspoons of the seasoning and the salt. Stir to combine.
  • Arrange chicken thighs over the rice, skin side up (trying to leave as much of the skin out of the liquid as possible).
  • In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 teaspoons of seasoning with mayo and brush the mixture over the chicken thighs. Pour the boiling chicken stock into the pan around the chicken.
  • Optional: cover the dish to keep in the moisture if desired, but it is not necessary. If you do cover the dish, remove the covering for the last 10-15 minutes to allow the chicken to brown.
  • Bake for 45 minutes at 400 degrees F, or until rice is tender and chicken reaches 165 degrees F or more in the deepest part.
  • Broil for 2-3 minutes to crisp up the chicken skin, but watch carefully so that it doesn't burn. Serve.

BAKED CHICKEN CURRY WITH RICE



Baked Chicken Curry with Rice image

This healthy, from-scratch baked chicken casserole is packed with Indian curry flavor, and is very easy to make! Marinating the chicken in yogurt makes it fall-off-the-bone tender, but it can be skipped if you are really pressed for time.

Provided by Trystian Hilton

Time 2h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ cups Greek yogurt, divided
2 tablespoons curry powder, divided
2 cloves garlic, crushed, divided
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, divided
1 pound bone-in chicken breast halves
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup basmati rice
½ cup sliced green onions
1 medium tomato, seeded and diced
1 chile pepper, seeded and diced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Combine 1/2 cup yogurt, 1 tablespoon curry powder, 1 clove crushed garlic, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper in a large freezer bag. Add chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Combine remaining 1 cup yogurt and chicken broth in a large bowl; mix well until smooth. Add basmati rice, green onions, tomato, chile pepper, 1 clove garlic, 1 tablespoon curry powder, ginger, black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Pour rice mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and place marinated chicken on top. Discard excess marinade. Cover the dish with foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Uncover and continue baking until chicken has browned and is no longer pink in the centers and rice is tender, 15 to 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Fluff rice with a fork, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a whole chicken for a more flavorful dish.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the chicken, you can simply season it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before baking.
  • To make sure the chicken is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. The internal temperature should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If you want a crispy skin, broil the chicken for a few minutes at the end of the cooking time.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
