Preheat the oven to 180°C fan.
1
Add the dry basmati rice to a large, deep baking tray. Sprinkle over the garlic seasoning and mix well so the rice is evenly coated.
2
Pour in the tinned tomatoes and 600ml chicken broth, stirring thoroughly so everything is evenly combined.
3
Place the raw chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture and season lightly with salt and pepper if needed.
4
Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes.
5
Halfway through cooking, remove the tray, give the rice a good stir to prevent sticking, and turn or reposition the chicken.
6
Return to the oven and continue cooking until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.
7
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
8
Portion into 6 meal-prep containers and allow to cool completely before storing in the fridge.
9
To serve, reheat until piping hot and top with 20g grated strong cheddar.
10
Reheat in the microwave (2–3 minutes, stirring halfway) or air fryer (180°C for 5–7 minutes) until hot throughout.
