Prepare the ingredients & make the base
1 Prepare the ingredients & make the base

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the green beans; snap off and discard any stems ends. Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. Lightly coat the trays with a drizzle of olive oil. Between the two prepared trays, evenly divide the rice, sautéed aromatics, green beans, soy sauce, and coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper; stir to thoroughly combine.

2 Prepare the chicken & bake the trays

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season on both sides with salt, pepper, and the curry powder. Arrange the seasoned chicken in an even layer on top of the prepared base. Tightly cover the trays with foil and bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.* Remove from the oven. 

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 165°F for chicken.
