Chicken with rice is a cozy Italian dish that combines the rich flavor of meat, the smoky note of bacon, and the creamy texture of rice. Its roots trace back to the rustic cuisine of Italy, where simplicity and harmony of ingredients create unique flavor nuances. Fried in oil, the chicken acquires a golden crust, while onion and tomato paste enrich the sauce. White wine adds a slight acidity that enhances the aroma, and cheese provides final softness. This dish is perfect for a family dinner – nourishing, warming, and infused with the spirit of tradition.
