Preheat the oven to 350°F.

To make this delicious chicken and yellow rice casserole recipe, you’ll want to start with uncooked rice and begin by making the rice mixture. Take a medium-sized mixing bowl, and combine the uncooked rice, chicken broth, melted butter, minced garlic, turmeric, and adobo seasoning. Mix these together until combined to make your yellow rice mix.

Then take a baking dish or casserole dish and spray it with cooking spray, or brush it with oil. Add the yellow rice mixed into the bottom of your baking dish.

Next, take your raw chicken, brush it with olive oil or melted butter, and sprinkle your desired seasonings on top of the chicken. Please the chicken, skin side up if using chicken with skin, on top of the rice.

Place the baking dish, with your raw yellow rice mixture, and chicken into the preheated oven.

Please note that the cooking time may vary slightly depending on your chicken, rice, and your specific oven, and some ovens cook faster than others. On average, it will take approximately 35 to 45 minutes for your chicken and yellow rice casserole to fully bake in the oven.

When your casserole looks like it is almost done, you want to take a meat thermometer and check the internal temperature of the chicken pieces. The skin of the chicken should be a lovely golden brown color, and the internal temperature of the chicken must reach 165°F for the chicken to be safe to eat.

If the rice is cooked, but the chicken is not done yet you can cover the casserole with aluminum foil and continue baking until the chicken is fully cooked.

Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven, then add some fresh parsley, or minced green onions on top of the casserole before serving. Use a fork to fluff rice a little bit before serving. Then serve your delicious chicken and yellow rice casserole right away and enjoy!
