Cheese Swap:
Try using Pecorino Romano for a sharper, saltier twist on the Parmesan flavor.
FAQ:
Q: Can I use brown rice instead of white rice?
A: Yes, but brown rice requires a longer cooking time and more liquid. Adjust accordingly.
Q: What’s the best chicken cut for this recipe?
A: Chicken thighs stay juicier, but chicken breasts work just as well if you prefer leaner meat.
Q: Can I make this dish ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! Prepare it, cool it down, and refrigerate. Reheat with a bit of extra broth or cream to revive the texture.
Q: How can I make it lighter?
A: Skip the heavy cream and use a low-fat milk alternative, or simply stick to Parmesan for flavor.
