Chicken, Rice, and Spices Bake

Recipe #105104 | 1 hour | 15 min prep | add private note

I got this recipe from my friend Kasey a long time ago (I have adjusted the spices to my taste) and it is very easy--even for those that just can't seem to get basmati rice to cook "just right". So long as you cover the baking dish tightly with foil, it will not fail!! I brought this to a pot-luck at work one day and ever since this dish was always requested by everyone at all of our potlucks.***I am cutting the salt to around half since there are quite a few reviews saying it is too salty. I don't measure the spices when I cook so I think I guessed the amount wrong.***

SERVES 3 -4 (change servings and units)

  3. 3
    Sprinkle chicken with half the spices (except the garlic).

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on med-high to high heat and fry the chicken till both sides are brown, lower heat to medium and remove the chicken to a plate.
  5. 5

outstanding! we loved this! this is going into my month rotation...shoot, maybe even weekly! i doubled the curry amount, added carrots, celery, tons of garlic, serrano peppers, used chicken breasts that i diced up, used chinese 5 spice instead of cinnamon (and only used 1/4 t since we only like heat!). since i live at super altitude, i used 2 cups instant rice and 2 cups broth (had i used long grain or basmati it would have taken 2 hours!!). anyway, it was loved by everyone tonight and requested to be made often! thanks so much!!!

    5 stars for the inspiration and apologies for all the adaptations This was wonderful, simple and tasty and definately on my make again soon list. I made a half recipe (chicken, rice, salt and stock powder) but left the spices as the original recipe stated. A half recipe made 2 huge serves for 2 huge eaters! I didn't want whole pieces of chicken, so I cut it up, also diced the onion. I threw in some ginger, and as we are not too fussed on cinnamon, reduced that and added some corinder to make up the difference. I used red chilli powder and the heat was just right for us. I also threw in some peas and slivered almonds. I'm submitting a photo, but feel free to replace it if you wish

    This is such an easy and delicious dish! The second time I made it I added an extra cup of rice and two extra cups of chicken stock, plus one cup of cooked peas because the first time I found there was alot of chicken but not an equal quantity of rice(which my husband loved!) This will be a regular at my house! Thanks for the great recipe!
