I love a good one pot dinner when I know I have a busy day planned. Having easy recipes to make that taste like you spent way more time on them than you actually did are some of my favorites. This one is the perfect weeknight option but it would also be an amazing choice to entertain with. The rice turns out full of french onion flavor and so tender. The chicken is fall off the bone tender and juicy. Serve this recipe with a nice green salad and you have yourself a complete meal! Enjoy!
