A comforting dish that combines tender chicken thighs with a rich, garlicky cream sauce over fluffy rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken thighs, diced into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking.
  2. In a pot, combine the rice with chicken broth. Bring it to a boil, reduce to low heat, and cover. Cook for about 18-20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken thighs, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for about 7-8 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the diced onion to the same skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
  5. Incorporate minced garlic to the onions and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened and glossy.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring gently to coat it in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until heated through.

Notes

For a bit of spice, add red pepper flakes to the sauce.
