A chicken and rice casserole with a healthy, turmeric twist! It’s just what you need for an all-in-one easy dinner that’s got a ton of comforting flavors. A win all around!
It’s the perfect weeknight dinner idea that nestles whole chicken breasts into the most vibrant golden rice that’s infused with warm and earthy flavors (plus some sneaky grated carrot for a veggie boost). The casserole recipe bakes everything together in the oven, and when it’s done, you simply have to fluff the rice, scoop out a chicken breast and serve it up! It’s easy and super delicious with curry-like flavors.

Friends, let's kick off January right with this turmeric chicken and rice casserole! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. xo – Lisa
is turmeric can be substitute ? we don't like that spice very much ! And why coconut milk in this recipe and can i use something else instead ? Thanks for sharing !!!
Using genetic modify chicken is Healthy?
I’m excited to try this recipe! My husband can’t tolerate dairy and I have kids who don’t prefer it so I’m happy to have a recipe that is a casserole that doesn’t contain dairy. Looks yummy!
👋🏽👋🍒🍒🏆🏆👍👍🏽
If I wanted to add another vegetable in addition to carrots what would you recommend? maybe broccoli chopped small?
That looks yum and so easy. Is it possible to swap the chicken breast for thighs? Should I bake them before putting it in the oven like your Mediterranean chicken casserole?
I love cutco knives! And made in the USA!
I can't wait to try this! It looks delicious.
This is going on the weekend menu for sure. Do you think I would need to adjust anything if I just wanted to make the rice, without the chicken? Or can I just throw it in the oven, or on top of stove, as is with the ingredient list that you used? I'm thinking a nice big batch of the rice to prep for the week for lunches. Thanks!
Hi, is it low in fat, low in sodium, gluten-free?
I will try this recipe.
I'm definitely making this! Looks scrumptious and so easy.
You are an excellent tutor! God bless you 👍👍
Hi Lisa I’ve seen you say use heavy cream to replace coconut, cream makes me sick, is there anything else. Could I just use chicken or veg stock? X
Thank you!!!
Can u recommend a great frying pan please thanks
Hi Lisa, love your recipes. I would love to make this chicken and rice but I really dont like the taste of coconut. Is there a substitute I could use in place of coconut? Thanks in advance x
Looks delicious!! I am in a dairy free house and can’t use heavy cream and my husband doesn’t like coconut milk. Do you have any other suggestions to try?
Thank you
Can’t wait to make it 😊
Looks delicious I will definitely be making this beautiful dish ….love your recipes and Thank You ……Happy New Year
I’ll be making this tomorrow 👍🏼
Well done, can’t wait to make it thx
Beautiful
Thanh you so much.
Interesting combination, I like the way how she put it in the oven to cook , something to definitely try, thank u
I did not understand at what temperature to bake(((
😁👋
YES … MOST DEFINITELY… MUST BE CAREFUL WITH TURMERIC. IT FOR SURE STAINS… I DRINK TURMERIC AND GINGER WATER ALL THE TIME… I AM OFFICIALLY STAINED FROM IT. 😂
This looks great. I am retired but my wife still works so dinner is on me. I enjoy cooking but I struggle to come up with new things to cook. This looks like a home run. I will make it tonight. Your channel has really helped me. My wife likes how I have stepped up my my game. Thanks so much.
This is my first time watching your videos! Wow! definitely looking forward to making this casserole!
Wow so easy & healthy 👍🤗 i gonna try this for sure 😃
What temperature do you bake? I can’t find it thanks
Thanks for this recipe, the timing is perfect! 😁 By the way, do you think I could make it in slow cooker? I like the texture of the chicken from slow cooker but I'm not sure if the instructions would remain the same and of course not sure how long should I cook it.
Would it possible to substitute the rice for cauliflower rice?
grating carrot to sneak in those veggies. 😂 i don’t like cooked carrots but will tolerate them in dishes especially if i can’t pick them out. i’ve been putting carrots into my daily smoothies since i can’t taste them or notice them in it. this dish sounds yummy and healthy.
Thank you! For your recipes, the time you put into your channel as it is steadily helping to make me and my family healthier! My husband has been bragging about all the wonderful meals I'm making him and my kids are eating healthier because your recipes not only taste great they are easy to make for a mom that works full time during the week. Just wanted to tell you I greatly appreciate it! Excited about the cook book! Will it be available in print?
Thanks for another delicious and easy recipe! I've just received your Whole 30 meal plan and completed shopping for the first week (I'm a week behind but not letting that stop me!). This will be a quick meal to make for my husband since he still needs his rice lol.
Hi Lisa!! Quick question – I have fresh turmeric and ginger on hand, both new to me, so I'm not sure how much I would need to use to equal the amounts of the powdered versions in this recipe. Any advice? Thanks so much, and thank you for another delicious recipe! I am so excited about the new cookbook. I don't purchase cookbooks since recipes are pretty easy to find online, but I am DEFINITELY purchasing yours. Can't wait!
Wow! Congrats! 2million subscribers
My husband and I love chicken and rice dishes, so I have to try this one. Your recipes never dissapoint!
Is that an Indian fusion food
I’m allergic to coconut. Would extra creamy oat milk work instead?
