Rice with chicken breast and vegetables in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake rice with chicken breast and vegetables in the oven? Prepare the necessary products. The set of vegetables can be changed to your liking. Take long grain steamed rice.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the chicken breasts, dry well and cut into medium pieces.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place green beans in boiling salted water. Blanch at a moderate simmer for about 5 minutes. Place the beans in a sieve to drain.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the onions, wash them, cut them into small cubes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cut the pre-washed and peeled carrots into quarters. If the carrots are thin, you can cut them into slices.

6. STEP 6

   

   Wash the bell pepper, remove seeds and green parts. Cut the vegetable into medium cubes. It is better not to cut vegetables too finely so that they do not overcook during baking.

7. STEP 7

   

   Heat some vegetable oil in a frying pan and add the prepared chicken fillet. Over moderately high heat, fry the fillet until golden brown. Turn the pieces periodically so that they brown evenly on all sides. The resulting crust will make the meat more juicy, retaining all the juices inside the pieces.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place fried chicken breasts on a plate. Add vegetable oil to the pan, fry the chopped carrots and onions, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add bell pepper to vegetables and fry for 1 minute.

10. STEP 10

    

    Add green beans and chicken breasts to the pan

11. STEP 11

    

    Salt everything, season with spices and aromatic herbs to taste, mix.

12. STEP 12

    

    Rinse the rice thoroughly several times until the water is clean.

13. STEP 13

    

    Place the rice in the pan and stir. Warm for 2 minutes over low heat until the rice is soaked in oil.

14. STEP 14

    

    Place the contents of the pan into a baking dish and level it out.

15. STEP 15

    

    Fill everything with hot water. The water should completely cover the rice and vegetables.

16. STEP 16

    

    Cover the top of the pan with foil.

17. STEP 17

    

    Bake rice with vegetables and chicken breast in an oven preheated to 180C for 60-80 minutes until the rice is cooked and the water has completely evaporated. Towards the end of cooking, open the foil. If the water has been absorbed and the rice is still damp, add a little more water. Cooking time may vary, as it depends on the operating characteristics of the oven.

18. STEP 18

    

    Rice with chicken breast is ready. Bon appetit!

Good day everyone! Today for dinner we cooked rice with chicken breast and vegetables in the oven. I loved the very colorful look of the finished dish. And, honestly, this is the first experience of cooking rice in the oven. My bell peppers are freshly frozen, and the green beans, previously blanched, were frozen this year for the first time. Thanks to the convenient calculator on the website, I increased the number of servings to 8. I prepared everything in accordance with the author’s recommendations. I didn't add onion because... there are comrades who don’t like him... Apparently due to the fact that I increased the amount of ingredients, I should have fried the breast in two steps; it turned out more stewed than fried. Next time I'll keep it in mind...I used a cast iron frying pan for baking. Cover with foil on top. Rice with breast was baked in the oven for 50 minutes. After this time, I turned off the heat and left it in the oven for another 20 minutes. It turned out very beautiful! The rice is really fluffy and a great combination with vegetables and breast meat. By the way, the proportions are perfect! Thanks to the author for the new impressions!
