Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients by chopping the garlic and measuring the rice and broth.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and sear until golden brown on both sides (approximately 5 minutes per side). Remove from the skillet.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and soy sauce; stir well.
  4. Reduce heat to low, stir in heavy cream until combined, then return the seared chicken to the skillet.
  5. Cook rice according to package instructions while the chicken simmers in its creamy sauce (about 10 minutes).
  6. Once cooked through, serve generous portions of rice topped with creamy smothered chicken and drizzle with extra sauce.
