Creamy Chicken and Rice
Velvety Creamy Chicken and Rice Comfort Bowl💛🍚🍗😋💚
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup long-grain white rice
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Directions:
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter with olive oil.
Season diced chicken with salt and pepper, then sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Stir in the rice, coating it in the butter and oil, and cook for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast.
Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and broth is absorbed.
Stir in the heavy cream, cooked chicken, frozen peas and carrots, Parmesan cheese, and paprika. Cook another 5 minutes until creamy and heated through.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
