A delightful and easy-to-make rice dish baked with a medley of vegetables for a wholesome meal.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Combine the chicken broth, diced carrots, chopped celery, sliced mushrooms, and chopped onion in an oven-proof casserole.
Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor.
Cover the casserole and microwave the mixture for 4-5 minutes until it starts to boil.
Microwaving helps to speed up the cooking process.
Stir in the rice, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Mix thoroughly to avoid clumps.
Cover the casserole and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
Check halfway through to ensure the rice is cooking evenly.
Stir the rice once halfway through the baking time.
This prevents the rice from sticking to the bottom.
Once cooked, let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving.
Resting allows the flavors to meld together.
