Savor the delightful fusion of tender chicken and creamy garlic sauce over fluffy rice for a satisfying meal. It’s hearty, easy to whip up, and simply irresistible!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
- Begin by preparing the rice according to package instructions or using leftover cooked rice for convenience. Set it aside once ready.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
- Carefully place the chicken in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover it to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze, releasing all the flavorful bits. Bring it to a gentle simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let this mixture simmer for another 5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet, allowing it to warm through in the creamy sauce for a couple of minutes.
- To serve, scoop a generous amount of rice into bowls, top with the creamy garlic chicken, and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
