Ingredients

- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, approx. 8 oz (225 g) each
- 1 1/2 cups (278 g) brown rice (uncooked)
- 14.5 oz (411 g) canned diced tomatoes
- 3 cups (210 g) broccoli florets
- 6 oz (170 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large ovenproof pot or Dutch oven, combine the brown rice and canned diced tomatoes (with their liquid), place the boneless skinless chicken breasts on top, cover, and bake until the rice and chicken are nearly done, about 40–50 minutes.
2. Remove pot from oven, pull the boneless skinless chicken breasts apart into chunks with two forks, stir in the broccoli florets and shredded mozzarella cheese, return covered to the oven until broccoli is tender and cheese is melted, about 10–15 minutes; stir gently before serving.
