Creamy Parmesan Chicken and Rice in One Pan

by

This One-Pan Creamy Parmesan Chicken and Rice combines tender, golden-brown chicken with creamy Parmesan rice, all cooked together in one easy skillet. The rich and velvety sauce brings out the savory flavors of the chicken while making the rice a comforting, flavorful side dish.

  1. Ingredients:
    • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 small onion, chopped
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 cup long-grain white rice
    • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
    • 1/2 cup heavy cream
    • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
    Directions:
    1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook them in the skillet for 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
    2. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
    3. Stir in the rice, ensuring it is well coated with the oil and onion mixture.
    4. Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
    5. Return the chicken to the skillet, placing it on top of the rice. Cover the skillet and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed.
    6. Remove the skillet from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
