One Pan Tuscan Chicken & Rice
Prep Time:20 minutes
Cook Time:1 hour
Total Time:1 hour 20 minutes

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2-3 boneless Chicken Breasts
  • 2 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Dried Parsley
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Basil
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Tomato Basil Rice

  • 1 1/2 cups Uncooked Long Grain Rice
  • 3 cups Hot Water
  • 2 tsp Knorr chicken bouillon or preferred brand
  • 4 Sun Dried Tomatoes finely diced (pat them dry first)
  • 1/4 cup Tomato Paste
  • 1 medium White Onion finely diced
  • 1 1/2 tsp Dried Basil
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

To Serve

  • Spring Mix or Arugula Greens
  • Shaved Parmesan

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, combine chicken seasonings. Coat the chicken breasts with about 2/3 of the spice mix, lightly rubbing it in, then flip the chicken over and rub in the remaining seasoning. Set aside.
  • Add diced onion to a baking dish and add a tablespoon or two of preferred oil (I use Avocado). Place in the oven for 10 minutes, or until it just begins to soften and pick up some color, sometimes i broil it for a minute or two.
  • Once the onion is cooked, microwave water and add bouillon, then pour it into the baking dish. Add tomato paste, sun-dried tomatoes, dried basil, and salt. Use a whisk to blend the tomato paste, then add the rice and stir everything together.
  • Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the dish. Pop the whole thing back into the oven at 350°F (180°C) for 50 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the liquid has reduced, leaving the rice around the edges cooked. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken. Use a fork to fluff up the rice and mix in the basil. Serve the chicken breasts with the rice and a side salad of leafy greens, shaved Parmesan, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze!
