Well, wine, seasonings, and good chicken broth. It was simple and not a bonanza of flavor, but we liked it. I'd do it again, and maybe with chicken breasts next time. Variety, right?
Also, this took barely any time to throw together. Julia was being a tad feisty, believe it or not, so I strapped her in the Ergo carrier and we made it together. Oh and I tossed the rest of a bag of frozen carrots in too. Remnants of freezer dwellers are optional.
Recipe: Baked Chicken and Rice
4ish lbs chicken (I used drumsticks)
2 cups rice
1 cup white wine
3 cups broth
3 handfuls baby spinach
onion powder, s&p, dried parsley
1 1/2 cups frozen peas
Set the oven to 375.
In a casserole dish, mix the everything but the chicken. Nestle (yep, nestle) the chicken on top/into the rice mixture. Season with what you like.
Bake for one hour, or more if chicken still isn't done, or if the rice hasn't cooked through. If it looks watery at the end of an hour, try stirring the rice up a bit - the liquid will absorb - promise.
