This isn’t called Forgotten Chicken because you’re going to forget about it. Quite the contrary, in fact, I think that once you try it you’ll remember it forever! It’s more that it’s so easy and hands off that you can forget about it if you needed to.
It’s just the kind of shortcut dinner that saves those weeknights when you don’t know what to make for dinner (or maybe can’t muster the energy to throw it together). It’s a whole meal in a baking dish — flavorful rice and juicy chicken — and all you have to do is stir a few things together in a baking dish and pop it in the oven.
