One Dish Chicken & Rice Bake

This One Dish Chicken & Rice Bake is one of those recipes that makes weeknight cooking ridiculously easy.

Everything goes into one dish - chicken, rice and vegetables - then straight into the oven where it cooks together and soaks up all the flavour.

For this recipe I used SPICETUB Portuguese Chicken Mix, which gives the dish its bold, smoky flavour without needing to add lots of different spices.

It’s simple, comforting and perfect for meal prep or an easy dinner.


Serves 2 

INGREDIENTS

300g chicken thigh (or breast), diced
½ cup uncooked rice
1 tsp SPICETUB Portuguese Chicken Mix
½ zucchini, diced
½ red capsicum, diced
¼ red onion, diced
¼ cup frozen corn
Small handful spinach, roughly chopped
1 cup low-salt chicken stock
Generous dash water
Dash olive oil
Sour cream, to serve

METHOD

Preheat oven to 180C. Add everything (except sour cream and extra spice mix) straight into a medium ceramic or glass baking dish. Mix well, cover tightly with foil and bake for min. 35 minutes. Remove foil and check:
✅ Rice should be cooked
✅ Liquid should be almost fully absorbed (not dry)
✅ Chicken must be fully cooked through
If needed, return to oven uncovered for a few more minutes and add a dash of water if needed. Serve with generous dollops of sour cream and an extra sprinkle of SPICETUB Portuguese Chicken Mix on top. ENJOY!
