A comforting one-pan dish of creamy chicken and rice, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup rice
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Optional: parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sautéing the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until soft and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Sealing the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Carefully add them to the skillet with the garlic and onion. Cook until browned on both sides, roughly 5-7 minutes per side.
  3. Simmering with Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  4. Creamy Transformation: Reduce the heat and carefully add the heavy cream, stirring to combine.
  5. Cover and Cook: Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  6. Cooking the Rice: While the chicken simmers, prepare the rice according to the package instructions.
  7. Finishing Touches: Once the chicken is cooked through and tender, serve the creamy chicken and sauce generously over the warm rice. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

Pairs beautifully with steamed vegetables or a fresh garden salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
