Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Get that heat going!

  2. In a large skillet, bring the water and chicken bouillon to a boil.

  3. Add the chicken breasts and diced bell pepper, simmering over medium heat until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes.

    🍽️ Pro Tip: Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safety. Use a meat thermometer for precise measurement!

  5. Stir in the yellow rice along with its included seasoning packet and the olive oil into the broth. Mix well to combine.

  6. Arrange the chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture. Season with black pepper and poultry seasoning to your taste.

  7. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 45 minutes.
