The life of remote learning, working full time from home, and being involved in too many volunteer groups, makes one tired. Sometimes cooking dinner seems like something I really don't care to do - but take out isn't always economical or healthy. in reality, pulling myself off the couch and making this dinner was easy. By time the first bake on the onions and garlic was done, I had the chicken prepped and the liquids ready to go in. Tuck in the oven for a while... go sit for a bit.... come back uncover, go sit a bit longer. Convince your husband to make a veggie and dinner is done.
This chicken was great! I might season the rice a tad next time? But SO good. The kids loved it too! A winner of a chicken dinner… Oven Baked Chicken and Rice
