Greek Rice and Shrimp Bake With Feta Crumb Topping image

This Greek spin on the classic baked rice casserole calls for shrimp, but chicken can also be used. Cut three large boneless chicken breasts into cubes and brown first in oil in a hot skillet before adding to cooked rice. If you plan on doubling the recipe, use 2 1/2 cups (625 mL) rice and only 4 1/2 cups (1.125 L) stock. From Food and Drink.

This was a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used frozen shrimp and it still turned out great. The feta crumb topping is a must!
