Recipe Tips
Adjust spice blend to taste: The spice blend listed is versatile, but feel free to adjust the quantities or types of spices to suit your preferences. You can also add additional spices or herbs for more flavor.
Ensure proper chicken cooking: Make sure to cook the chicken tenderloins until they are slightly golden on each side before transferring them to the skillet with the rice. This will help lock in flavor and ensure they’re fully cooked through during the baking process while keeping them from drying out.
Monitor liquid absorption: Keep an eye on the liquid level as the dish bakes. If the liquid evaporates too quickly, add a bit more chicken broth to prevent the rice from drying out.
