It’s simple to make but big on flavor. It’s a great year-round meal and even a wonderful meal for guests. It’s made with the Cacio e Pepe staple ingredients: Pecorino Romano cheese and black pepper. But instead of pasta, we’re using nutrient-rich U.S.-grown basmati rice! It’s a delicious chicken dinner that will be sure to impress. If you love this chicken and rice dinner you’ll also love my Mediterranean Chicken and Rice, Teriyaki Chicken and Rice, and my Creamy Tuscan Chicken and Rice.
U.S.-grown basmati rice: U.S. basmati is an aromatic long-grain rice with a distinctive aroma and flavor. Its flavor works perfectly in this simple-to-make one-pan chicken dinner. Chicken thighs: I love using boneless, skinless chicken thighs. They are juicy and cook quickly. I haven’t tested this recipe with boneless skinless chicken breasts but if you do, I recommend cutting any thick chicken breasts in half. Seasonings: I’m using just some black pepper and salt to season the chicken! Pecorino romano cheese and heavy cream: help to make this chicken dinner nice and creamy Lemon juice: the acidity adds a delicious brightness. I like adding some to the meal and squeezing more on top when serving. Other ingredients needed are garlic, olive oil, butter, chicken broth, shallot, and parsley for garnish.
