With Autumn just around the corner, my mind has been on one-pot meals. On my list to make this Fall is Silvana Nardone’s One-Pot Chicken-Parm Rice dish. This recipe comes from her new cookbook: Silvana’s Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Kitchen: Timeless Favorites Transformed. You can get it starting September 2!

Please note that the recipes to Silvana’s gluten free all-purpose flour blend and her dairy-free Parmesan (two ingredients used in the recipe) are located below the chicken parm recipe. Keep scrolling for more delicious goodness 😀

One-Pot Chicken Parm Rice

Serves: 4
Prep Time: 8 minutes
Cook Time: 48 minutes

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, smashed
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded skin
Salt and black pepper
1/3 My Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour
1 cup long-grain white rice, well rinsed in cold water
1 14.5 ounce can chopped tomatoes (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 cup homemade or store-bought chicken broth or water
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce (about 1 cup)
6 large fresh basil leaves, torn
1/4 cup Dairy-Free Grated Parmesan or store-bought
1 cup shredded store-bought dairy-free mozzarella for topping

Instructions:

1. In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden, about 1 minute. Meanwhile, season the chicken generously with salt and pepper and lightly dredge in the flour. Working with 2 pieces at a time, add the chicken to the Dutch oven and cook, turning once, until browned, about 4 minutes total. Transfer to a platter.

2. Add the rice to the Dutch oven and stir to coat, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, broth, and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil. Top with the chicken, tomato sauce, basil, Parmesan and mozzarella. Cover, reduce the heat to low and gently simmer until the chicken and rice are cooked. 30-40 minutes. Serve hot.
