Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F.
    Wash and dry all produce.
  • To a medium pot, add 1 cup (2 cups) water, broth concentrate and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the boiling water, stir in rice and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 12-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.

  • In a large non-stick pan, heat 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over medium-high.
  • When the pan is hot, add chicken. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan; cook chicken in 2 batches if needed.) Cook for 2-3 min per side, until golden.
  • Transfer chicken to an 8x8-inch baking dish (9x13-inch for 4 servings). Set aside. (NOTE: Chicken will finish cooking in step 5.)
