French Onion Chicken Pastille & Rice
⭐️one pan wonder⭐️ Legit my top 3 all time chicken dishes – it’s absolutely full of flavor and incredibly delicious.
I LOVE my Meme Lasry’s Chicken Pastilles so much. But there are definitely a patchka with the the phyllo dough. So one day I decided to take all the flavors and make this one pan dish that exceeded all my dreams.
Super easy to do, truly. But seriously, don’t skip ANYTHING. Every spice and nut is essential!

Instructions
In a frying pan add oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
Then heat the oil and pan fry your chicken, skin side down first, for 6-7 minutes till your top gets golden and crispy.
Flip and pan fry the other side for another 5-6 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
Add the sliced onions into the pan with chicken oil and mix well. Cover and cook for 10 minutes till the onions just soften
Then add the rice and noodles and mix with the onions and cook for another few minutes, crisping up the rice and noodles.

Then top with lots of chopped fresh parsley and a generous amount of pine nuts.
Then place the chicken pieces on top.
In a separate bowl, mix all the broth ingredients together.
