One-Pan Creamy Parmesan Chicken & Rice Delight This creamy and comforting dish combines tender chicken, aromatic rice, and rich Parmesan cheese, all cooked in one pan for an easy yet delicious meal. Ingredients 4 boneless, skinless chicken fillets 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 2 tablespoons olive oil Salt and pepper to taste Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) Instructions Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken fillets with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until they are fragrant and the onion is translucent. Toast the Rice: Add the rice to the skillet and toast it for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure even toasting. Combine Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook Chicken and Rice: Return the chicken to the skillet, cover tightly, and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is fully cooked. Finish with Parmesan: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and creates a creamy texture. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve: Garnish the dish with chopped parsley before serving.
