  • 1 oz taco seasoning one pouch
  • 1 ½ pounds chicken breast, raw, diced into inch pieces

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350℉.
  • Add all ingredients, except 'optional ingredients', in order into a 9x13 inch pan.
  • Stir gently to combine.
  • Cover pan tightly with foil.
  • Bake for 50 - 65 minutes. Stir every 15 - 20 minutes for a total of 3 big stirs while cooking. This helps the rice cook more evenly. Cover with foil again after each stir.
  • Bake time may vary by oven. You know it is done with liquid is absorbed, rice is cooked, and chicken is firm and cooked to 165℉ minimum. This recipe was tested only with jasmine rice - other rice options may need more liquid and longer bake times.

Other Thoughts
  • Please use jasmine white rice for this recipe. It has not been tested with other types of rice. Cooking raw rice in the oven in a dish like this is finicky. Other types of rice may need more water and a longer cooking time. Proceed at your own patience level.
  • Highly recommend stirring the dish three times while cooking to allow for even cooking of the rice.
  • This meal is fantastic as leftovers!
