Creamy Chicken and Rice Recipe (a one-pot meal)
"This chicken and rice dish is so satisfying - a must try! It has all of the heartiness of plov and creamy deliciousness of a risotto. The chicken turns out tender and so flavorful. It's one of those meals that you'll make and your family members will be convinced you're the best cook there is. (P.S. Don't be afraid of the white wine; it is still family friendly! You boil out the alcohol and keep all of the amazing flavor). It's also a one-pot wonder. Less dishes is huge for me because most of my cooking sprees tend to make the kitchen look like it's been hit by twin tornados. This creamy rice casserole also also reheats really well...."
