This is great – thanks!! I’m totally with you that a person can only eat so much chicken breast, broccoli, and brown rice. If you have any more “pick me ups” that spruce up these foods, can you please share?!?!

Hi Aubrey,
I am so thankful you posted this recipe. I have been in the same rut you talked about. So I really hope there are more to come since I just found out I’m allergic to SOY so that takes A LOT of the table……literally.
Making this tonight with chicken and am so looking forward to rice with some flavor.
THANKS!!!

Hi, my turkey will be cooking in the oven at 320F at the same time, i guess by baking the rice at less temperature, it will just take longer, right?
Thanks
Caroline

I made the baked brown rice dish as a side to a chicken meal. I served 8 foodies and they all raved about the taste and asked for the recipe. This dish was easy to make and delicious. It will become a “go-to” dish for my family. Thank you for posting it.

Can I use any kind of brown rice or only long grain?
Aubrey Cota says
We like the long grain but please feel free to use either what you have or what you prefer. Thanks!
