Baked Chicken and Rice

"Here’s an easy baked chicken and rice recipe. Quick and tasty, this one pan combination is a perfect meal to make after a long day at work. Just add a salad. When you bring one culture’s cuisine to its most basic level, which would be the most commonly used ingredients, it turns out they’re not that different. Globally, most recipes have some combination of rice, meat, and/ or flour because all are easily available. Preparation is what sets them apart. But before we jump into this particular baked chicken and rice that my sister does so well (thanks for the recipe!), I’d like to explore something most cultures also have in common: superstitions. You know, those things you don’t do to make who knows what not happen, or the things you do to make who knows what happen."
