  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

A delicious combination of tender chicken and creamy flavors served on a bed of fluffy rice, perfect for cozy gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pieces Chicken thighs or boneless breasts
  • 1 cup Long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups Chicken broth
  • 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of mushroom soup
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Freshly chopped Parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter.
  2. Once the skillet is hot, add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Carefully add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Place your chicken into the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side.
  5. After browning the chicken, pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the rice, spreading it evenly.
  6. Mix in the cream of mushroom soup and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes.
  7. Check that the rice is tender and chicken is cooked through. Adjust cooking time as necessary.
  8. Finally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For a healthier meal, consider using brown rice or low-sodium broth. Leftovers can be stored for 3-4 days in the refrigerator or frozen for 2-3 months.
