Notes

For added flavor, you can marinate the chicken with your favorite spices the night before.
You can substitute brown rice, but adjust the cooking time and chicken broth accordingly as brown rice typically takes longer to cook.
This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad on the side.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
