Description
Comforting chicken and rice bowls topped with a luscious creamy garlic sauce, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 2 chicken breasts, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Sauté the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced chicken breasts. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Add garlic: In the same skillet, toss in the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
- Simmer with broth: Pour in the chicken broth, bringing it to a simmer. Allow it to cook for 2-3 minutes so the flavors meld.
- Create the creamy sauce: Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, which should take about 5 minutes.
- Serve: Spoon the creamy garlic chicken over a bed of cooked rice and garnish generously with chopped parsley.
Notes
Consider adding sautéed spinach or red pepper flakes for additional flavor and nutrition.
