  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients and chop any desired vegetables.
  2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Sear seasoned chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown; remove from skillet.
  3. Pour heavy cream and chicken broth into the skillet, scraping up browned bits. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper; simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

  5. Cover and simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the sauce.
