Easy One-Skillet Baked Chicken and Rice Recipe
I love one-skillet dinners, and this baked chicken and rice is a dependable addition to any rotation. The chicken stays tender, the rice absorbs savory broth and aromatics, and everything cooks together in a single pan — no searing required.

- Cook everything in one high-sided, oven-safe skillet — chicken and rice finish together for easy cleanup.
- Flavors come from a blend of pantry spices, sautéed onion and garlic, lemon juice and fresh parsley for brightness.
- After a short stovetop start to soften the aromatics, the dish bakes covered for a mostly hands-off finish — ideal for busy weeknights.
- Uses affordable, common ingredients and works well for meal prep since leftovers refrigerate and freeze nicely.
- This recipe is naturally high in protein and can be made gluten-free depending on your broth and seasonings.
