This super easy Sesame Ginger Chicken and Rice Casserole had 5 ingredients and is mixed up in 5 minutes or less!

It comes out with a rich creaminess complemented by sweet, slightly tangy sesame ginger drizzle. The chicken is juicy and perfect with the rice that bakes into an almost-risotto-like consistency. All that, with just five ingredients.

Toss It Together

First goes the rice then the stock and then the edamame.

Bake It

Top it with the chicken, and season generously with salt and pepper.

Slide the casserole into the hot oven and bake it until the liquid is absorbed into the rice. There might be a few bubbles left at the edges, but the majority of the liquid should be gone.
