Description

Chicken and rice smothered in a creamy sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add onion and mushrooms to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
