Seared Chicken Breasts on Garlic Parmesan Rice Recipe
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Garlic Parmesan Rice:
1 cup (190 g) long-grain white rice
2 cups (475 ml) chicken broth
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season and Sear the Chicken:
Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
Season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Remove and set aside.
Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Rice:
In the same skillet, add butter and olive oil. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the rice and toast for 1-2 minutes.
Pour in chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
Stir in Parmesan cheese and fluff the rice with a fork.
Assemble and Serve:
Place seared chicken breasts on top of the garlic Parmesan rice.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
