Instructions
- 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.
- 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 to 40 minutes. Serve hot.
This was as easy and good as it sounded!! I’m passing it on to my sister and friends. Thank you!
Doesn’t it seem, Andrea, that ANYTHING with the words “chicken parm” in it is going to be good? Yet I’ve had a few unfortunate chicken parms in my life. Happily, this one’s a winner. Visit us here any time. it feels like a party here, too, right? Cheers, Faith
