Our easy chicken and rice recipe is overwhelmed Thanks for the perfect mix of mushrooms, garlic butter rice and spices. The chicken flavor tastes incredible, and the rice turns out so much fluffy. This one is a guard.

My family loves this delicious chicken and rice made of mushrooms. Chicken and rice is such a classic dish, and we saw it very flavored fluctuations there. It’s so versatile that we can probably start a brand new category just for chicken and rice recipes. This stovetop version made by garlic butter, mushrooms, onions and delicious plants, is one of my favorites. I think you will love too.
99% of this recipe is made with one basketwhich dishes hold down and make me happy. We ask you to heat the broth before adding to the basket, so technically it is another dish. If you are using a microwave to heat it (which I often do) it still feels as easy as a single cooker meal.

The main components
- Chicken. With this recipe I use chicken thighs and advise you to do. They are much better than chicken breasts here, because they are less prone to the overload and an incredibly competition. In the photos I used homeless, useless chicken thighs, but you can also use bones or skin on the skin. If you use the skin, let the skin point a little point at the beginning, adding a taste to the basket and helping the skin into a golden brown. Note that in our method, the skin will not die fragile, but will mit some because it cooks with rice.
- Rice. For the best chicken and rice, use long grain white rice that makes light and fluffy. I love fragrant Basmat rice with this recipe but regular long grain white rice just works well. Rinse and dry the rice a few times to remove excess starch. The float is convinced that in the end our rice gets well and fluffy. I follow the same method when we make our Mexican riceA number
- Vegetables. We wanted this dish to really simple but full of fragrance, so we used yellow onions, cremini mushrooms and a lot of garlic. This combination makes the rice incredibly spicy and delicious.
- Herbs and spices. Herbs and spices really make this dish special. You will make a spice mixture with Thyme (I love fresh thyme, but dried work), dried orega, smoked papric and salt. Then use it for chicken and rice.
- Broth. Use your preferred chicken broth or shares with this recipe. I love Homemade stockBut the shop-bought work is just good when I don’t have it.
How to make chicken and rice
I am a big fan of this chicken and rice method. Each step is built on the latter, that’s why this dish tastes so incredibly. The first layer is the chicken that you will hit our plain spices with a mixture, then with a brown olive oil. When it is light brown, transfer it to the plate and throw in butter, onion, garlic and mushrooms.
When the mushrooms have been reduced in size, you will increase the rice and the mixture of our spices. Then move the rice around the pan for a minute to take a little toast.

Add some hot broth, the chicken in the top, cover and cook low 15 minutes. Then turn off the heat and let it sit still covered, another 10 minutes to complete steam.
You can serve immediately or a small pop color, add some parsley mixed with melted butter and scatter it on top. And that is, my current chicken and rice obsession. I hope you will try soon.

My family loves this chicken and rice recipe, which has 99% of the method in just one frying pan. Chicken turns incredibly tender, and the rice is packaged due to the spicy mixture of herbs, spices and mushrooms. I usually use useless, useless chicken thighs, but bones, skin that affect the thighs.
If you use the skin of chicken, make sure you serve the skin until it is gold and almost fragile before it is to remove the vegetables. While the skin does not remain fragile (because the cooks are covered), it properly adds a delicious taste and beautiful gold-brown color.
