Creamy Garlic Chicken & Rice Bowls Simple Dinner Delight
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1 pound chicken breast, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0 to taste Salt and pepper
- 0 for garnish Fresh parsley
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken breast and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sauté until the chicken is cooked through and golden, about 6-8 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate any browned bits.
- Lower the heat, and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, combining it with the creamy sauce. Allow it to heat through for another 2 minutes. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve, scoop a generous portion of the cooked jasmine rice into bowls and top with the creamy garlic chicken mixture.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
