Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup white rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper and sear for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside.

Notes
Sear chicken well for flavor and adjust seasoning to your taste. Consider using alternatives like half-and-half for a lighter sauce.
