Creamy Chicken & Rice is a family dinner favorite!

Growing up, one of the meals my mom did make regularly was Chicken & Rice. She absolutely LOVED making this dish because it was so simple and she could use her favorite rice, Minute® Rice.

She would always prepare this when she got in from work, then have it baking in the oven while helping us with homework. I am sure that’s where I got my mad skills at multi-tasking. My mom was the queen of doing many things at once and doing them all well.

Meals like this one are some of my favorites because it does allow me time to get a meal on the table but also spend time with my kids too without the hassle of standing by the stove for a while. With Minute® Rice it only takes about 5 minutes and you have fluffy beautiful rice that can pair well with stir fry or even in this Chicken & Rice Bake.

I prefer to use it in this bake because I know for sure the rice will come out fully cooked at the same time as the chicken. It does not necessarily take as long as the chicken to cook but it works out very well and is never overcooked.

I also decided to coat our chicken in a flour mixture before putting it in the pan, although some of the mixture does get washed off while preparing this dish, it still adds some flavor to the chicken. If you prefer not to do this step, you can skip it. I do it with or without it just depending on the amount of time I have to get dinner ready.

This rice is one of our pantry staples and kept on hand for nights like this where I need a good go-to meal for dinner.

If you decide to make this dish, you can get creative and add veggies to it too and make it a one dish dinner. I decided to pair it with broccoli on the side although many times I just bake the broccoli in with it. It can also be made with chicken breast or thighs. I went with thighs this time just out of preference.
