Ingredients
- 1 g Black Pepper
- 250 g Chicken broth
- 1 g Dried Thyme
- 5 g Garlic
- 150 g Ground Chicken
- 80 g Milk 2%
- 30 g Mozzarella cheese
- 10 g Olive oil
- 40 g Onion
- 75 g Rice
- 2 g Salt
- 60 g Spinach

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C. Rinse the rice and set it aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Cook the onion and mushrooms until softened, then add the garlic.
- Add the ground chicken, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Stir in the rice, chicken broth, and milk. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add the spinach and cook just until wilted, then transfer everything to a baking dish.
- Cover tightly and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove the cover, sprinkle with mozzarella, and bake for 5 to 10 minutes more until melted and lightly golden.
- Let cool briefly before portioning into meal-prep containers.
