Key Ingredients & Substitutions

Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts – Roadhouse uses chicken breasts but you could also use chicken thighs for more flavor
Mushrooms – I love the meatiness of portobello mushrooms but you could also use button mushrooms or even baby bella
Onion – sweet yellow onions are so good for any recipe like this because they bring flavor & texture
Rice – short grain white rice is easy to grab but I love Basmati rice and use it whenever possible – it’s got a lighter texture that I like
Seasonings – you’ll need all the basics here: garlic powder, onion powder, Paprika, thyme salt & pepper
Flour – this is a thickener for the sauce – you could add a touch of cornstarch instead if needed
Chicken Broth – I love the flavor this adds to the rice, but you could use water as well
Cream – Heavy cream adds thickness but you could also use half & half or milk
Cheese – Texas Roadhouse Chicken uses Monterrey Jack & Parmesan cheese but you could also use colby or mozzarella.

Tips Tricks & FAQs

Place in air tight containers in the refrigerator for up to a week.

If just reheating a single serving, place in microwave for 60 seconds. If a larger portion, you can use a pan on the stove top and add a little water or milk to loosen up the rice and make it saucier again.
