This One-Pan Tomato-Basil Chicken and Rice Is a Dinner Miracle
This One-Pan Tomato-Basil Chicken and Rice Is a Dinner Miracle | The secret to success here is using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. When you first sear the thighs in the hot skillet, you get that nice golden-brown exterior. The fat that cooks off from the chicken skin also creates a flavorful base to sauté the ingredients for the sauce. Later, when you add the chicken back into the skillet, the tomato sauce helps keep the interior meat from drying out.
