Rustic Italian Chicken Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in large skillet on medium heat. Add chicken; cook and stir until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
• Add vegetables; cook and stir 3 to 5 min. or until crisp-tender. Stir in broth. Bring to boil.
• Stir in rice, dressing and cheese; cover. Reduce heat to low. Cook 5 min. or until liquid is absorbed and chicken is cooked through.

Steps:

• Spray slow cooker with cooking spray. Place chicken in slow cooker and top with remaining ingredients, except pasta and garnish.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours. Serve chicken over pasta and garnish with cheese and parsley.
• Garnish Options: Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh Italian parsley.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken pieces with 1 teaspoon of each salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour to coat lightly.
• In a large heavy saute pan, heat the oil over a medium-high flame. Add the chicken pieces to the pan and saute just until brown, about 5 minutes per side. If all the chicken does not fit in the pan, saute it in 2 batches. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside. Add the bell pepper, onion and garlic to the same pan and saute over medium heat until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juice, broth, capers and oregano. Return the chicken pieces to the pan and turn them to coat in the sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer. Continue simmering over medium-low heat until the chicken is just cooked through, about 30 minutes for the breast pieces, and 20 minutes for the thighs.
• Using tongs, transfer the chicken to a platter. If necessary, boil the sauce until it thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Spoon off any excess fat from atop the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle with the basil and serve.

Steps:

• In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken tenders on all sides with Italian seasoning; add to skillet. Cook 5 to 6 minutes, stirring constantly, until chicken is browned and no longer pink in center.
• Stir in tomatoes and water. Heat to boiling. Stir in rice. Cover; remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat the oil in a large, shallow ovenproof pan, add the chicken and cook for 3-4 mins until golden all over. Remove from pan and set aside.
• Add the onion and peppers, and cook for 3 mins or until lightly golden. Tip in the garlic and fry for a min. Stir in the rice, then the tomatoes, stock and reserved chicken. Turn up the heat and bring to the boil before transferring to the oven to cook, uncovered, for 20 mins. Season to taste and drizzle over the pesto before serving.
