Cooking Tips
- Avoid Lifting the Foil: The “no-peek” method is crucial for this dish to allow even steaming and cooking. Resist the temptation to lift the foil during baking, as it can release the steam that tenderizes the chicken and keeps the rice moist.
- Chicken Substitutes: If you prefer, you can substitute chicken breasts with thighs for a slightly richer flavor and added juiciness.
- Rice Options: Long-grain white rice is ideal, but wild rice or basmati rice can add unique flavors. Avoid instant rice, as it will cook too quickly.
