Another option to consider in order to shorten the overall cooking time for this recipe is to use a different variety of rice. Basmati rice cooks in about 15 minutes. White jasmine rice cooks in about 20 minutes.

If you have the time in your busy schedule and don’t mind waiting, you might want to try some of the healthier rice options, such as brown rice, which can take 45-55 minutes to cook, or wild rice, which can take 45-60 minutes. These rice varieties are well worth waiting for, as they have a superior taste and texture.

Regardless of the type of rice you use, this recipe forms the basis of a tasty, filling meal that your family will love. Just add some veggies or a salad on the side and you have a complete meal on your table.

Quick Tip:  Watch your timing on this. All ovens are different, so it might only take an hour to bake in your oven, or it might take an hour and 45 minutes. Judge the doneness by the rice, not the chicken.
