Rice with chicken in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make rice with chicken in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. For baking, you can use any part of the chicken with bones, or just chicken fillet. I take a whole chicken and just chop it into pieces. Choose steamed long-grain rice. Such rice is slower to boil, so there is less chance of turning it into porridge. It should turn out crumbly.

2. Step 2:

   

   Rinse the rice several times in cold water. then drain all the water from it completely. For baking, take any heat-resistant mold. It can be glass, metal or, like mine, ceramic. But it should be deep, as the rice will increase in size during baking. Spread the washed rice over the bottom of the mold.

3. Step 3:

   

   Stir the tomato paste in water and pour the rice into the mold.

5. Step 4:

   

   Chop the chicken into pieces, rinse in cold water and put in a mold on rice. Press the chicken pieces into the rice a little.

6. Step 5:

   

   Peel the carrots, rinse and cut into slices and add to the chicken and rice. Garlic is passed through the press immediately into the mold. Add a little salt and spices to taste. Cover the mold with foil and put it in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil, and brush the chicken pieces with vegetable oil so that they are browned. Leave in the oven without foil for another 20-30 minutes. During this time, the chicken will brown on the outside.
