italian chicken and rice recipe in one pot
Italian chicken and rice recipe in one pot. Original picture @ CafeDelites

This is another one of those easy one pot meals that pack alot of flavor and nutrition. What I love about one pot meals is that there is no extra mess to clean up once cooked. It’s all cooked in the one pot for a great infusion of flavors. Another bonus with this recipe is that its ready in 45 minutes. Don’t you just love it when you can prepare something so tasty and delicious and yet so quick!

What makes this chicken recipe so good is the crispy sun-dried tomato flavor on the outside while the inside is still moist and tender. My taste buds are already watering just thinking about it. The chicken is seared first to make sure the juices are locked in. Then they are baked to perfection with all of the other ingredients.

Use a little cheese to sprinkle over the baked chicken prior to serving and viola you have the perfect chicken dish in a dash. So quick so easy. Don’t forget the cheese, cheese just goes great with chicken enhancing the flavors. Below is theĀ Italian Chicken and Rice Recipe in One Pot and Ready in 45 Minutes – please share it around.
