Smothered Chicken and Rice

Total Time 55 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  • Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add onion and garlic. Sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Add mushrooms and broccoli, cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Stir in rice and cook for 2 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb flavors.
  • Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine.
  • Place the browned chicken breasts back into the skillet, covering them with the rice mixture.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
