Ingredients List for One-Pan Creamy Parmesan Chicken & Rice

To make One-Pan Creamy Parmesan Chicken & Rice, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup long-grain rice
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

How to Cook One-Pan Creamy Parmesan Chicken & Rice:

1. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Add the chicken to the skillet and sear on both sides until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes per side). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
3. Cook the Rice: Stir in the rice, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
4. Add Chicken and Cheese: Return the chicken to the skillet and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese. Cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the chicken is cooked through.
5. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot, enjoying the creamy goodness!
