Notes
Don't skip the sear: Searing the chicken first ensures a crispy exterior and also helps seal the delicious juices inside.
Lower the heat to deglaze: If it's too hot, the wine will evaporate fast, before you've deglazed the pot.
Toasting the rice: I like to brown the rice a little in butter before baking the recipe, which gives it a nutty flavor.
