Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. 2. Cook the Chicken: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Add chicken and cook for about 6 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. 3. Create the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt another tablespoon of butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about one minute). Pour in white wine and simmer for two minutes.
  4. 4. Add Creaminess: Stir in Parmesan cheese and remaining butter until melted into a silky sauce.
  5. 5. Prepare Garlic Parmesan Rice: In a separate pot, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add rice according to package instructions; once cooked, mix in chopped parsley.
  6. 6. Serve It Up: Slice chicken into strips and serve over garlic Parmesan rice with sauce drizzled on top.

Keywords: For added flavor, consider substituting shrimp or tofu instead of chicken. Experiment with herbs like basil or add crushed red pepper for extra spice. Allow cooked chicken to rest before slicing for juicier results.
