Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2.5 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside on a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and saute for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the dry white rice and toast for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Nestle the seared chicken breasts back into the rice. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, then cover the skillet. Reduce heat to low and cook for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir the freshly grated parmesan cheese into the rice until creamy. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
