Cheesy Chicken & Veggie Rice-Pasta Bake

June 25, 2026

Ingredients

  • 100 g Broccoli
  • 4 piece Chicken
  • 1 cup Rice
  • 100 g Pasta
  • 1 cup Carrots
  • 50 g Cheese
  • 2 piece Tomatoes
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp Oregano

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).
  • Cook the rice: rinse the rice, then simmer in water until just tender (about 10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  • Parboil the pasta: cook pasta until about 2–3 minutes under al dente, then drain.
  • Season the chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Sear in a pan with a little oil (or dry-fry if needed) until browned on both sides; it doesn’t need to be fully cooked. Slice into bite-size pieces.
  • Prepare the vegetables: chop broccoli into small florets. If carrots are not already small pieces, slice/shred them. Roughly chop tomatoes.
  • In a bowl, mix chopped tomatoes with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Set aside.
  • Assemble: in a baking dish, combine cooked rice, parboiled pasta, broccoli, carrots, and sliced chicken. Pour the chopped tomato mixture over everything.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, until the broccoli and carrots are tender and flavors have melded.
  • Uncover, sprinkle cheese evenly over the top, and bake 5–8 minutes more until melted and lightly browned.
  • Rest for 5 minutes, then serve.
