Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs
What each ingredient does
- Avocado
- Adds creamy texture and rich fat to the rice and chicken.
- White rice
- Provides the starchy base that absorbs the chicken broth and bulks up the dish.
- Chicken breast
- Supplies lean protein and savory flavor, with moisture from the foil-wrapped cooking.
The step that matters
Wrap chicken in foil and place on cookie sheet, in oven for 45 minutes.. Wrapping the chicken traps steam so it cooks gently and stays moist. Lean breast meat dries out quickly, so keeping the foil sealed helps it stay tender and yields broth for the rice.
