A comforting and creamy dish combining seasoned chicken and parmesan-infused rice, perfect for any family dinner or special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup rice
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sear the chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook them for about 6-7 minutes on each side until they’re browned and fully cooked. Once done, remove the chicken and set it aside.
  2. Sauté the garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until it becomes fragrant.
  3. Simmer the rice: Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer. Next, stir in the rice and heavy cream. Add the grated parmesan cheese, stirring until it melts and creates a creamy sauce.
  4. Combine and cook: Return the chicken to the skillet, placing it into the rice mixture. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for another 5-10 minutes until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed the flavors.
  5. Garnish and serve: Finally, garnish the dish with fresh parsley before serving to elevate its presentation.

Notes

Feel free to swap rice for quinoa or use low-fat cream for a lighter option. To enhance the dish, pair it with a simple green salad or serve with marinara sauce.
