Ingredients (Serves 4 casseroles):

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
salt and pepper to taste
2 medium onions chopped
1 cup uncooked white rice
150 ml of chicken broth
1 diced tomato
1 tablespoon of finely chopped parsley

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 270°C/520°F.

Wash the chicken breasts thoroughly. Then dry on paper towels.

Peel and rinse the onions. Chop into small pieces.

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

In a medium bowl stir the rice, the chicken broth, the diced tomato, and only ½ of the chopped onions together. Set aside.

Chop the chicken breasts into bite sized pieces.

In a separate bowl, mix the breasts with the rest of the chopped onions. Transfer to a pan with a little bit of oil. Sautée at very low heat for 2-3 minutes.

Pour the previously made rice mixture into a medium size baking dish. Pour the just sauted chicken mixture on top of the rice. Cover very tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Check often to keep from burning.

Remove from oven when done and let cool slightly for five minutes.
