Ingredients:
– 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup heavy cream or non-dairy alternative
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Begin by cooking the rice according to package instructions, whether using white or brown rice. Set aside once done.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
3. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, seasoned with onion powder, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for about 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
6. Fluff the cooked rice and divide it into bowls. Spoon the creamy chicken mixture over the rice, generously topping each bowl.
7. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added color and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!
