My daughter was told about this dish called Chicken Riggi and after looking into it this is our version. It originated as an italian American recipe in Utica New York. There are lots of different variations but it's a chicken and italian sausage dish in a spicy tomato broth touched with cream. Different vegetables and sometimes olives are added. It's always served with rigatoni pasta. We followed the basic recipe adjusting for our tastes. It is hearty and delicious!

So this is the grandmama version. Pay no attention to the picture. This is a leftover pic bc I forgot to take a picture freshy fresh.... Tip: if you're not one of 20 ppl in America to have minute rice then use 1 & 1/2 cups rice with two cups of water and cook halfway (about 5 minutes) then add that to the casserole. If you use this method cut the 2 cups water to be mixed in the casserole into 1 cup water

very yummy and tasty my hubby can eat a whole pan by his self lol:-)

This is inexpensive, but rich and flavorful. I use whatever i have on hand for the chicken broth, I'll use homemade, canned or bouillon and water, it all works really well. I use extra long grain rice from La Preferida Brand, because it gets so creamy. I make some green beans with onion to serve with it, cuz I like to mix it together!

Just came up with it

Hola friends!!! Here’s a little bit of nothing I made that just tastes so good I had to share. Plenty of leftovers to make a nice pot of this golden beauty. This is basic and can be made in any shape form or fashion. Add ons for days. I like peas in mine but today I went bare bones. I roasted the chicken and made the rice yesterday just so I could make this today.

Easy to make in the oven and makes the house smell good!!!!

Chicken and Rice has always been a favorite Sunday dinner in our house. It's fall off the bone good everytime.(Pressure cooker required)
