Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of long-grain white rice
- 3 cups of chicken broth
- 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 8 ounces of mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
