Savory Chicken with Garlic Parmesan Rice: An Incredible One-Pan Meal


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup uncooked rice (preferably long grain)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 cups chicken broth
– 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried basil
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup frozen peas (optional)
– Fresh parsley, for garnish


Instructions

1. Heat Olive Oil: In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Cook Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, oregano, basil, and paprika. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. Sauté Garlic: In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add Rice: Add the uncooked rice to the pan and stir well to coat with the garlic and remaining oil.
5. Pour in Broth: Carefully add the chicken broth to the pan. Stir to combine everything together.
6. Return Chicken: Place the chicken breasts back into the pan on top of the rice. Bring to a simmer and cover the pan with a lid.
7. Cook: Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes until the rice is cooked and has absorbed most of the broth.
8. Add Peas: If using, stir in the frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
9. Stir in Parmesan: Once everything is cooked, sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the dish and stir gently to mix it in.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
