9×13 Life: Kid’s Favorite Chicken, Rice, and Potatoes

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
9x13 life bcp

Shiffy said, “It’s nothing, it’s not a recipe,” and we said, “That’s exactly what we want!”

Note from BCP: You are already familiar with Shiffy’s recipes here on BCP, including some epic ones, like The Most Delicious Cauliflower Soup, Dairy Apple Caramel Galette, and more gourmet items like this Eggplant and Pistachio Appetizer. If you want to see the rest, check them out here. Then, one day, Leah and Shiffy were schmoozing about recipes and Shiffy gave her a whole list of new gourmet ideas. Then, Leah asked her, “What’s your kid’s favorite?” First, she resisted. After all, some people might say “this isn’t a recipe.” But Leah persisted. And here we are, a perfect kid-friendly 9×13 to start off the school year. Now, Shiffy will tell you more.

The truth is, this isn’t the first time I’ve shared this recipe dinner idea (I still say it’s not a recipe). But when Leah asked, ‘What’s your kids favorite dinner?’ This was the obvious answer, hands down. 

It’s very versatile. After you add the rice,

you can throw in the potatoes, or not. You can swap them for sweet potatoes, or not. 

Also–for those who don’t like using chicken consomme, lately I’ve been using the new version that comes with a green lid and is made from all natural ingredients–look out for it!

Now—sometimes people come back to me and say, “It didn’t taste the same as when you made it!” Here’s the trick–really loading up the pan with those chicken legs. You want the fat from the chicken to flavor everything beneath it. When you put less chicken, it’s just not the same (if using less chicken, add some oil). 

Really, the spices are flexible. Here, I used simply Montreal Steak Seasoning and this Garlic and Herb spice mix from Weber (note that even though the big container and the small containers have a different name, it’s the same ingredients). Sprinkle on liberally!! Even though, yes, you can add spices on their own, I highly recommend this spice mix for its convenience and great flavor. 

This will bake for 90 minutes and give you something that’s so much more than the sum of its parts–both because of the easy of prep, simplicity, and because of how happy it just makes everyone!

      Love this recipe! Looks delicious and easy! When I make chicken with rice, the rice gets those gray things that come out of the chicken while it bakes… any recommendations how to avoid that? Or how to get the kids to ignore it?!

    Can I use a whole chicken cut up instead of legs? How would you adjust timing? Thanks!

      I used a whole chicken cut into quarters and it worked great! I baked it longer b/c my family like super soft chicken. Very juicy and yummy!

    I make something similar but I generously sprinkle paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and tumeric on top of the chicken with rice or potatoes below it and it’s so yummy. Nice idea to add both potatoes and rice so everyone gets something they like.

    If I do half the recipe do I need to bake it less?

    Great easy recipe! thank you for another “no-fail, everyone likes it” recipe! I used a whole chicken cut into quarters and it worked great! I did bake it longer as well as some time uncovered on convection to give it more of a brown color.
