Enjoy a quick and delicious dinner with our One-Pan Creamy Parmesan Chicken and Rice, featuring tender chicken and creamy rice, all cooked in a single pan for easy cleanup.

Ingredients

Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Rice:

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and brown on both sides until golden. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until fragrant and translucent.
  3. Toast the Rice: Add rice to the skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Cook Chicken and Rice: Return chicken to the skillet, cover tightly, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Finish with Parmesan: Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the skillet is covered tightly to cook the rice evenly.
  • Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
