Knorrs Recipes – Knorrs Chicken and Rice Using Just One Skillet
We recently asked a busy Mom of 3, that works full time, what was her “go-to meal” when things got hectic and she was pressed for time – or just too tired to cook a meal…
The answer was braised chicken thighs cooked in one skillet with 2 packages of Knorrs Rice Medley and a handful of green peas.
[color-box]So, off we went to try this chicken recipe just as suggested! This chicken thigh recipe was quick and delicious and just perfect for busy nights! It was just as she said, a great meal without a lot of prep work and quick to get on the table. A perfect recipe for the busy working Mom and Dad – or Mom on the go![/color-box]
Knorrs makes delicious blends of rice & spices for quick side dishes, but as we found out they are also perfect for a main dish entree. Always keep some packages in your pantry for when things get hectic!
