A delicious blend of seared chicken and creamy garlic Parmesan rice that brings warmth and joy to any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup uncooked rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth (for the rice)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in 1/2 cup of chicken broth and the lemon juice, scraping up any flavorful brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes.
  4. Cook the rice according to package instructions, substituting chicken broth for water.
  5. Combine the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese over low heat in a separate pot, stirring until melted and smooth. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. Stir the creamy Parmesan mixture into the cooked rice until well combined.
  7. Slice the cooked chicken and serve it over a generous bed of creamy garlic Parmesan rice. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

Make sure your skillet is hot for the perfect sear. Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor.
