Chicken and Rice with Mushrooms is a hearty and comforting one-pan meal made with tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and fluffy rice cooked together in a savory broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into chunks
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (white or cremini)
  • 1 cup long grain white rice
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5–7 minutes until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, sauté onion and garlic for 2–3 minutes until softened.
  4. Add mushrooms and cook for 4–5 minutes until browned and their moisture has evaporated.
  5. Stir in rice and thyme, toasting lightly for 1–2 minutes.
  6. Return chicken to the pan, pour in chicken broth, and bring to a simmer.
  7. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 18–20 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  8. Fluff with a fork, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use brown rice, but adjust cooking time and liquid as needed.
  • For extra flavor, add a splash of white wine before adding broth.
  • This dish stores well and makes great leftovers.
