Chicken and Vegetable Rice Casserole
Created by: Howcan Team
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
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup of sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup of frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the bite-sized chicken pieces and cook until they are no longer pink, about 8 minutes.
- Add the long-grain white rice, chicken broth, frozen peas, dried thyme, and paprika to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
- Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
