Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds of chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
  • 1 large onion finely diced
  • 3 cloves of garlic minced (approximately 3 teaspoons)
  • 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 1/2 cups of chicken broth
  • 1 cup of long-grain white rice
  • 1/2 cup of heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Optional: Parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preparation of Ingredients: Begin by preheating a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt completely.
  • Sautéing Onions: Introduce the diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until the onion starts to soften.
  • Cooking Chicken: Place the cubed chicken in the skillet, along with the Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is uniformly golden on all sides.
  • Adding Garlic: Incorporate the minced garlic into the skillet, stirring continuously for one minute to prevent it from burning.
  • Combining Broth and Rice: Add the chicken broth and rice to the skillet. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
  • Simmering the Dish: Bring the contents of the skillet to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet with a lid, and allow it to simmer for 17-20 minutes. The rice should be tender and most of the liquid absorbed.
  • Final Additions: Remove the lid and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until the mixture is homogeneous and creamy.
  • Serving: Serve the dish immediately, optionally garnished with chopped parsley to enhance its visual appeal and add a fresh flavor contrast.
