CREAMY PARMESAN ONE POT CHICKEN AND RICE

Creamy Parmesan One Pot Chicken and Rice – This deliciously creamy chicken and rice is one of the easiest one pot meals you will ever make!  Juicy chicken and rice are cooked together in a buttery broth then mixed up with cream and parmesan cheese for a luscious 30 minute one pan dinner!

Chicken and rice is something that is very nostalgic for me.  I always looked forward to a big cheesy casserole pan full of gooey chicken and rice goodness.  It was asking a lot as a kid because my mom can’t stand rice!  What a sweetie she is for still cooking it up for me anyway.


UPDATE:  Since everyone LOVED this recipe so much, I made another version, be sure to try my Bacon Ranch Chicken and Rice too!
