Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup long grain white rice, rinsed
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 packet Knorr Chicken Flavor Bouillon Mix (about 1 ounce)
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen diced carrots
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes until lightly browned but not fully cooked through.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rinsed rice, chicken broth, Knorr Chicken Flavor Bouillon Mix, frozen peas, frozen carrots, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Stir well.
Add the cooked chicken, onions, and garlic to the rice mixture and stir to combine.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13 inch casserole dish and spread evenly.
Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole.
Return to the oven uncovered and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
