Here’s a basic recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
For the Chicken: 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts Salt and pepper to taste 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 tablespoon olive oil For the Garlic Parmesan Rice: 1 cup long-grain white rice 2 cups chicken broth 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons butter Salt and pepper to taste Chopped fresh parsley for garnish Instructions: Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano on both sides. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of the chicken breasts. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Make the Garlic Parmesan Rice: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Add the rice and sauté for a couple of minutes until it’s lightly toasted. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the rice simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Combine and Serve: Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and butter until melted and incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Slice the cooked chicken breasts. To serve, place a portion of the garlic Parmesan rice on a plate and top with sliced chicken. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and color.
