I love the idea of throwing everything into one pot or skillet and not having to wash loads of dirty dishes. Let’s face it, kids love chicken better than anything else, and if you are watching your weight, chicken is the way to go, so easy chicken recipes are always popular. You can make them as simple or as fancy as you want, depending on the ingredients you use or the ones you have at hand. It is usually done in under 30 minutes, and you can serve it in the skillet, so even less dishes to wash! In my house, the chicken and rice dinner is always a favorite. “The full recipe with ingredients can be found in the recipe card below.”

You certainly can. Just place any leftovers in an airtight container and freeze for up to 4 months. Remember to label the food with the date before freezing.

What To Serve With Chicken and Rice?
A salad and something yummy for dessert. A simple mixed greens salad with tomatoes and sliced onions goes perfectly with this. I like to use a red wine vinegar-based dressing, and I don’t mind eating the salad on the same plate. I like it when some of the dressing mixes with the rice. I also like to add a bit of lemon juice to my chicken and rice. I think the perfect dessert for this dish is any fruit cobbler.
