One Pan Creamy Asiago Chicken and Rice

Creamy asiago chicken and rice cooked together in one skillet with tender chicken, rich melted cheese, and perfectly seasoned rice for the ultimate comforting dinner.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into chunks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ cups long grain white rice, uncooked
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 ½ cups freshly grated asiago cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat a large deep skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Add olive oil and butter to the skillet, then sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add diced onion and garlic to the same skillet and cook until softened and fragrant.
  5. Stir in the uncooked rice and cook for 1 minute.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring well.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet and cover.
  8. Simmer for about 20 minutes until the rice is tender and creamy.
  9. Stir in the grated asiago cheese until fully melted and smooth.
  10. Top with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Freshly grated asiago melts smoother than pre-shredded cheese.
  • Add a splash of broth while reheating leftovers to keep the rice creamy.
  • Chicken breast can be substituted for chicken thighs if preferred.
  • Spinach or mushrooms make excellent additions to this skillet meal.
