Nothing beats this one-pot creamy chicken and rice recipe when it comes to convenience or comfort. If you could have a no-hassle garlicky, delicious chicken and rice dish on the table in less than 30 minutes with only one pot to clean, why wouldn’t you?
This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover rice and create something totally yummy out of it. I love this when the weather is a little chilly and I am in no mood to cook an elaborate meal and cravy for something that is warm and comforting. This bowl of creamy garlic chicken rice is just that! And the best part is that I can customize it with whatever veggies or meat I have at hand!
