For enhanced flavor, consider browning the chicken in olive oil or butter instead of cooking spray. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preferences and what you have on hand. Bell peppers, zucchini, or peas would be excellent additions. Long-grain rice works best in this recipe to prevent sticking. If using short-grain rice, reduce the amount of broth slightly. If you don't have Parmesan cheese, you can substitute with another hard, aged cheese like Asiago or Pecorino Romano. To add a touch of heat, include a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the paprika. Make sure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Oct 25, 2024I substituted brown rice for white rice, and it worked great. I just had to add a little more broth and cook it for a longer time.
