Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 4 ounces diced onion
  • 12 ounces ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 0.75 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1.5 cups long grain rice
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a heavy, oven-safe skillet over high heat. Cook chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken breasts from skillet and set aside. Add onion and ground beef to the skillet; cook until onions are starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Season with cinnamon, allspice, salt, and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir for 2 minutes.
  3. Stir rice into the skillet until fully coated with oil and spices. Place chicken breasts on top of the rice and pour in broth. Cover skillet with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until rice has absorbed all liquid, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
