Chicken Doria Rice

Doria starts with perfectly cooked rice, which is then layered in a baking dish. A creamy and velvety sauce, often a combination of béchamel and tomato sauce, is poured over the rice, infusing it with rich flavors. The sauce brings the comforting taste of Italian cuisine, while the Japanese touch adds a touch of elegance and finesse.

Doria typically consists of a bed of fluffy, buttery rice baked with a creamy sauce and various toppings. The sauce is often made with a combination of béchamel sauce and tomato sauce, creating a rich and flavorful base. As for the toppings, they can vary widely, but commonly include ingredients like sautéed vegetables, chicken, seafood, or even sausage.

Once assembled, the Doria is baked to perfection, allowing the flavors to meld together and the cheese on top to turn golden and bubbly. The result is a mouthwatering and satisfying dish that brings together the best of both worlds. It is a warm embrace of comfort food with a Japanese-infused Italian flair.
