Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Fustini’s Garlic olive oil
- 2 cups par-boil rice
- 1 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 - 15 oz diced tomatoes
- 2-3 tablespoons Fustini's Tuscan Spice blend
- 6 4-ounce chicken breasts, boneless, skinless

Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish, grease the pan with Garlic olive oil. Place rice and broth in the bottom of the pan. Stir to distribute the moisture among the rice. Top with tomatoes (with juice) and sprinkle the mixture with the Tuscan Spice blend.
- On top of the tomatoes, place chicken breasts. Spread pesto over each chicken breast and top with shredded cheese. Cover and bake in the hot oven for 15 minutes. Remove cover, add additional liquid if necessary and continue baking for another 15 minutes until chicken is done or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees and cheese is golden brown. Remove from oven and garnish with parsley and a drizzle of balsamic.
Recipe Note
Oven baking time will be longer if your chicken thickness varies.
