Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes until browned.
  3. Add finely diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
  4. Stir in chopped red bell pepper, zucchini, uncooked brown rice, and diced tomatoes with juices. Pour in chicken broth and mix well.
  5. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30–35 minutes, until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  6. Remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of baking and sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions.
  7. Allow the casserole to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
