Instructions
Creating Chicken & Rice Bowls with Creamy Garlic Sauce is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Rice: In a medium pot, combine the rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until rice is fluffy.
2. Cook the Chicken: While the rice is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced chicken and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
3. Sauté the Chicken: Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked.
4. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well to combine. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes until thickened.
5. Combine Ingredients: Once the rice is done cooking, fluff it with a fork and divide it among serving bowls. Top each bowl with the cooked chicken and creamy garlic sauce.
6. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a touch of color and flavor.
7. Optional Veggies: If you’d like, add steamed vegetables on the side for extra nutrition.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy warm for the best experience.
