Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 4–6 cloves fresh garlic
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Rinse the long-grain rice under cold water, then combine with 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the water is absorbed.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, cook each side for about 6-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove from skillet and let rest before slicing.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté chopped garlic until fragrant. Add heavy cream and soy sauce; stir continuously for about 5 minutes until thickened.
  4. Return sliced chicken to the skillet, ensuring it’s coated with sauce; warm through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Fluff the rice and divide into bowls; top with the saucy chicken and garnish as desired.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken in soy sauce and minced garlic for at least an hour for enhanced flavor.
  • Adjust sauce thickness by adding broth if needed.
  • Mix in steamed vegetables like broccoli or bell peppers for added nutrition.
