You are here: Home / Cooking / Full Flavor One-Pot Chicken & Rice Show This one-pot chicken & rice dish has been a go-to of mine since grad school. It's easy, super flavorful and the ultimate comfort food. I found the original recipe from Natasha's Kitchen via Pinterest a few years back and can see why it's so popular. Over the years, I've made tweaks like doubling the garlic and using different kinds of wine to arrive at the version y'all see here today. The ingredient list is a little long but don't be intimidated at all. These are all common things you can find in a regular ol' grocery store and substitutions are ok. For example, Natasha's recipe calls for chicken thighs but I use chicken breast. I also added in broccoli, which can be fresh or frozen, so feel free to play with the veggies you include! If y'all have been reading (and, hopefully, making) my recipes for any period of time, you know I'm not shy with seasonings. This dish, however, only calls for sea salt and black pepper. So where does the "full flavor" part come in? Onion, two whole heads of garlic, butter, and white wine--that's where! There's parmesan cheese mixed in at the end for creaminess but it adds a little touch of flavor, too. I love making this one-pot chicken & rice any time of year but especially when the weather is cooler and I want something warm and a little indulgent for dinner. Coincidentally, we had really cold and wet weather come through last night, which means schools and many offices are closed so I'll be working from home today with a warm bowl of this for lunch. You know those dishes that are even better the next day? This is one of those. It makes for great leftovers so don't worry if you aren't cooking for a crowd. If you're looking for a good date night dinner, this is the one because it's easy to make together and just looks cool while cooking. 🙂 If one-pot meals are your thing, be sure to check out my 30-minute chicken noodle soup, spicy chipotle skillet meal, and spicy sausage & spinach pasta.
