Microwave broth in a medium microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup for about 2 minutes on high power until broth is very hot. Carefully pour or ladle both over ingredients in oven bag. Carefully unfold bag opening.

Close bag with nylon tie. Cut six 1/2-inch slits in top. Tuck ends of bag in pan.

Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until chicken reads 170°F on meat thermometer and rice is done. Let stand 5 minutes. Carefully cut top of bag open; stir with rubber scraper or spoon. Garnish servings with chopped green onions and add hot sauce, if desired.

Reynolds® Oven Bag Tips: • To easily cut chicken thighs into cubes, open them and place flat on a cutting board to cut with knife OR use kitchen shears to cut into cubes.
