Cooking instructions
- Prepare Ingredients — Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Dice chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Peel and cube potatoes. Chop cabbage, bell pepper, tomato, and chili. Drain corn. Slice avocado and set aside for garnish.
- Cook Rice and Chicken — Cook rice in salted boiling water until just tender but firm. In a skillet, sauté chicken pieces until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables and Kimchi — In the same skillet, sauté potatoes for 5 minutes, then add cabbage, bell pepper, tomato, corn, chili, and kimchi. Cook for another 5 minutes until vegetables soften.
- Combine and Mix — In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked rice, chicken, sautéed vegetables and kimchi. Stir in mascarpone cheese until creamy and evenly mixed. Add half of the crumbled feta cheese and mix gently.
- Bake the Casserole — Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle remaining feta cheese evenly on top. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes to brown the top.
- Serve with Avocado — Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes. Serve warm, garnished with fresh avocado slices on top.
