Whenever my family is craving a comforting and cozy meal, I always come back to this one. Sometimes I’ll even sprinkle over a few fresh sourdough breadcrumbs for topping. You can’t go wrong with this delicious one-pot meal.

Here’s How To Make My One Pot Chicken and Brown Rice Bake.

Step by Step Instructions

Cook the rice

In a braiser pan with a lid, cook 1½ cups of brown jasmine rice in equal parts bone broth (or chicken broth) and water. Once the rice has cooked, remove the rice from the pan and set aside.

Make the bake

In the same braiser pan over medium heat, add the butter and melt.

Then add the onions, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and tender. Preheat the oven to 375℉.

Now sprinkle over the flour and stir to make a rue. Cook for 1 minute. 

Now whisk in the chicken bone broth and heavy cream. Simmer for 3-4 minutes. 

Once the sauce has started to thicken, add in the 1 cup of shredded parmesan cheese, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Continue cooking until the cheese has fully melted.

Stir in the brown rice, sweet peas, and shredded chicken into the parmesan cream sauce and stir to combine.

Gently flatten the mixture out and top with the reserved ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese.

Bake loosely covered with a lid slightly cracked, parchment paper, or foil for 20-25 minutes, removing the covering the last 5 minutes.

Cook until bubbly and golden around the edges. Serve with a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
