Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 5 ½ cups water

  • 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

  • 1 green bell pepper, diced (Optional)

  • 1 (16 ounce) package yellow rice

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 1 pinch ground black pepper

  • 1 pinch poultry seasoning, or to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  2. Bring water and chicken bouillon to a boil in a large skillet. Add chicken breasts and bell pepper; simmer over medium heat until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. Remove chicken and pour remaining broth into a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  3. Stir rice, plus the included seasoning packet, and olive oil into broth. Arrange chicken breast on top of rice; season with black pepper and poultry seasoning.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 45 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork before serving.
