Description
A comforting dish featuring juicy chicken, fluffy rice, and a rich, savory sauce, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Sizzle and brown: In a large skillet, heat that olive oil over medium-high heat. Toss in the chicken breasts seasoned with salt and pepper, and let them sizzle until golden brown (about 6-7 minutes per side). When they’re cooked through, take them out and give them a break on a plate.
- Onion city: In the same skillet, add your chopped onion and sauté until it’s soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and let that fragrant goodness waft through the air for about a minute.
- The rice takes center stage: Stir in the rice until it gets a nice coating from the onion and garlic mixture. Pour in the chicken broth, bring everything to a boil, and let it simmer until the rice is tender and has soaked up all that flavor (about 18-20 minutes).
- Creamy dreams: Lower the heat, and stir in the heavy cream. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet and let everything simmer together for an additional 5 minutes.
- Serve it up: Plate that dreamy goodness, sprinkle with parsley, and watch as everyone falls in love.
Notes
For extra flavor, serve with a fresh garden salad or drizzle with your favorite hot sauce.
