Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to use a baking dish that is the appropriate size for the amount of rice you are making. A dish that is too small can cause the rice to overflow and a dish that is too large can cause the rice to dry out.
  • If you want to make this recipe ahead of time, you can prepare the rice mixture up to step 10 and then refrigerate it until you are ready to bake it. When you are ready to bake it, simply transfer the rice mixture to a baking dish and bake as directed.
  • If you like your rice to be a bit more moist, you can add an additional 1/2 cup of chicken broth to the pot before simmering the rice.

Enjoy!
