I accidentally made rice taste like stuffing*. Not bad, right?
Secret Ingredient Chicken and Rice Casserole
- 2 large-ish chicken breasts, cut into (roughly) bite-sized pieces
- 5 or so carrots - washed, peeled, and chopped
- 1 medium zucchini - quartered lengthwise and chopped
- 1.5 cups of white rice (you could probably use brown, but I had white)
- 1.5 cups leftover mushroom broth
- 1 cup water
- Olive Oil (1-2 tsp?)
- Salt (1/2 to 1 tsp? Husband likes salty rice)
- Random spices - I used about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon each of oregano, cardamom, and really old curry powder
- and the secret ingredient... 1 can of coconut milk!
- Preheat oven to 350
- Place rice, oil, and salt in a large glass baking dish (i used 13x9 i think? the really big one). Mix up until all the rice is coated with oil and salt. Add more oil or salt as desired.
- Add in other chopped up ingredients, and mix up. Attempt to distribute evenly.
- Mix coconut milk, broth, and water in a bowl and carefully pour over everything in the glass dish. Everything should be just submerged - if you need more liquid add a little more water or broth. (I was trying to save dishes and didn't quite mix them all first, i don't think it mattered much... but if i wasn't so lazy/making-things-up-as-i-went, i would have pre-mixed)
- Sprinkle desired spices over the top, and place in oven.
- Bake for 60-90 minutes, until chicken and vegetables are thoroughly cooked.
*disclaimer - I had a cold and I'm pregnant, so my taste buds might be a little wacky. Regardless of whether or not it really tasted like stuffing, I thought it was good and husband really liked it too!
