List of ingredients you need
I am sure most of the ingredients you might already have in your pantry now or maybe you will have to grab a packet of mushroom from the nearby store to make this Creamy parmesan chicken and rice with mushrooms. Chicken: I have used Chicken breast, cut into cubes. You can also use chicken thighs instead. Mushroom: Button mushroom sliced and roasted in a bit of butter until crispy. Roasted mushroom is so much flavorful. Aromatic: Onion, Garlic, and herbs. That’s all you need for an aromatic broth in which the chicken and rice will get cooked. Low Sodium Chicken Stock: Try to use good Quality low sodium stock . I make stock at home, so that I can control the amount of salt. Always check seasoning after you add the stock to the rice and mix everything, then adjust the seasoning. Cream and Parmesan: We don’t need oodles of cream or cheese. Just enough to bind the rice and give it a creamy consistency.
Steps To make Creamy Parmesan Chicken and rice with Mushroom
Can we substitute Brown Rice with White
Brown rice really won’t fit in with all the flavors here. What we are looking for is a soft delicate creamy texture and brown rice has a different texture when cooked. So no, this Chicken and Rice taste best when made with white rice.
Storing Suggestion for Leftover Chicken and Rice
You can easily refrigerate the leftovers up to 3 days in an airtight container. Once cooled down, the rice might absorb all the moisture and thicken up. While reheating add little warm stock to the chicken and rice to loosen it up.
