Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Rice:

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Make the Rice: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the rice and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender.
  4. Combine: Slice the cooked chicken and place it on top of the cooked rice in the skillet. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the chicken and rice. Cover the skillet and let it sit for a few minutes until the cheese melts.
  5. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
