Recipe Tips

For a little extra flavor, try adding some chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives to the rice before baking. You can also use different vegetables depending on what you have on hand – bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms would all be great additions. If you don't have chicken stock, you can use water or vegetable broth instead. And if you want to make this dish ahead of time, you can prepare everything up to the point of baking, cover the dish with foil, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Just remember to increase the baking time by about 10-15 minutes if you're starting with a cold dish. Enjoy!
