  4. Add chicken: Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture, pressing them slightly into the sauce.
  5. Add butter: Drizzle melted butter over the chicken.

  • Cheesy twist: Add shredded cheese on top in the last 10 minutes of baking for extra flavor.
  • Different meats: Swap chicken for  turkey breasts.
  • Spicy version: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños to spice things up.
