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
Hi..thank you very much for sharing this. Can u please share more turmeric receipes as it is anti inflamatory
This is my chicken soup recipe!!!!! Only I have an onion allergy so I use leeks instead. 😃
That looks so yummy!
Where’s is your lime juicer from?
I want to share to everyone that I cured my Herpes Virus with Dr Aluda herbal supplement.all thanks to Aisha Hussaini for directing me to Dr Aluda.i now believe in Naturals..
Looks very good
What if your allergic to coconut? What can you suggest
Great recipe. My problem was that the rice was still hard after 45 mins. I have more than enough liquid to cook the rice. I’ve been cooking it for almost 2 hours now 🤔
Can I use fresh coconut milk instead?
Your videos are my zen😍😍😍❤❤❤
Can I use cauliflower rice instead?
just made it…its incredible. Probably the best tasting Rice i have ever made and that chicken is delicious aswell.
Looking forward to eat the other Portions the next days
Hi Lisa! Just wanted to let you know this dish is now one of our favorites and we make it often as well as many of your other delicious recipes! 😋 thank you 😊
What in the freakin WHITENESS
This one is sooooo delicious 😋 OMG
Thank you so much for having converted measures on your website! It saved me. You're the best, Lisa!
This was so easy to make and the results are great! Next time, I will marinate the chicken while I prepare the other ingredients, and use stock instead of water. But that's just my personal taste, it's also delicious as-is!
Thank you soooo much to tells us european celcius degrees. It seems a small thing but we have to read all recipes with a calculator in the hand 😂😂😂😂😂😂
what's an alternative to coconut? I'm allergic but this looks great!
Nice share, turmeric is good for health 👍
This was so incredibly flavourful and delicious. Always a guarantee a downshiftology recipe will be 💯
Made this on Wednesday for lunch my family loved it so tasty thank you…
I’ve been watching you for about a year and made the Tuscan chicken last week! Home run! And easy! I work full time, so I need easy in my life. 😀😃 But who are you? Why are you not on the food network? Where did you learn to cook? How did you come up with these recipes? The dish was so delicious.. I now have a ton of questions! 😅😅
i really dont know why you have over 2M subs… so basic and well known recepies
This looks easy enough to make the way you described it. Those combination of flavors look amazing. Cant wait to try it, thank you 🤗
Looks so healthy
We made it yesterday, and it was so great, simple and tasty, thank you! It took maybe twice as advised for my oven to deal with the chicken, I might need to add more water for the rice to come out not so dry next time or just switch to smaller chicken pieces. The taste is magnificent to say the least though. And yeah, my pan lid is permanently yellow from now one 😀
Like the recipe, but I often don’t use my oven except in the winter because how hot it gets the rest of the year. Do you have a recipe for Greek turmeric stove top rice that is similar to Greek take out food. Thank you!
I am glad to have found your channel. I have been looking for healthy recipes I can make easily. I do not have intuitive spice sense (grew up with just salt and pepper) so having recipes like this will make my life easier. I have watched several videos of yours now and decided to subscribe. Thank you!
Can I substitute curry powder for turmeric? I’m getting ready to make this and I don’t have curry powder. A tablespoon?
I tried making this, based on how yummy it looked and the great comments. However when I made it, the chicken was very slimy and the rice was uncooked. I followed the directions exactly, it was also lacking a lot of flavor. I wish I knew what everybody was talking about with how great it was, I was really looking forward to it. I had to throw the whole thing away.
This looks amazing🎉you are a great cook 😊❤
I just made this food and it really delicious thank you for sharing..
delish! Thank you for your great recipes
I will try this chicken & rice casserole.
This has become part of our regular dinner rotation, we have this at least twice a month. Absolutely delicious!!! I chop the chicken up into cubes and cook everything on the stovetop in a covered pot and it’s ready in around 20 minutes!
Definitely making this! ❤
Let me know oven degree to centigrade
