Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Method

  3. Add garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Add rice, chicken broth, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.
  4. Cook rice for 18-20 minutes, or until tender and all the liquid has been absorbed.
  5. Add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese to the skillet and stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.
  6. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the chicken.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
