Creating Creamy Smothered Chicken and Rice is easy when you follow these simple steps:

1. Heat Olive Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil.
2. Cook Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sear them in the skillet for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In the same skillet, add diced onions and minced garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Rice: Stir in the white rice and mix well with the onions and garlic for a minute, allowing the rice to absorb all the flavors.
5. Pour in Chicken Broth: Gradually add the chicken broth, stirring well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
6. Simmer Chicken: Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet. Cover and let everything simmer together on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
7. Add Cream: Pour in heavy cream and stir until well combined. Allow to cook for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring everything is heated through.
8. Taste and Season: Adjust seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if desired.
9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley.

These steps will guide you to achieve a flavorful, creamy delight that everyone will love.
