Foodie Favorites: Cheesy Chicken and Rice

Hey Guys!

This week, I decided to do something a little different and make a post about one of my favorite things in the world: food! I have been contemplating posting recipes for a while and, after making one of my favorites last night, I thought that there couldn’t be a better time to share my first foodie favorite. Or more precisely, a recipe that I like to call Cheesy Chicken and Rice!

Now, I’m no chef, but I do find it fun to get creative with cooking every once in a while. That is exactly what happened the first time I made this dish. At the time, I was too lazy to go to the store. So, I just decided to throw something together with ingredients that I already had in my kitchen. The finished product came out as a close cousin to Chicken Caprese. However, I find that this dish also reminds me of my childhood favorite Chicken and Rice. Since then, Cheesy Chicken and Rice has become a go-to dish in my cooking repertoire. I hope that you guys enjoy it as much as I have!
