Description

A comforting meal featuring succulent chicken in a rich, creamy garlic sauce served over rice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 cups rice
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs (like Italian seasoning)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, seasoning it with salt, pepper, and dried herbs. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5–7 minutes. Once done, remove the chicken and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Stir in the rice and cook for a couple of minutes to absorb the garlic flavor.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream, adding a little water if necessary to reach desired consistency. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Once the rice is tender, add the grated parmesan cheese, mixing until creamy.
  6. Stir in the cooked chicken and heat through for a couple more minutes.
  7. Finish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Adjust cream consistency to your liking.
