Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley or thyme, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
Preparation
- Chop the garlic, measure the rice, and trim any excess fat from the chicken.
Cooking
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Add the chicken breasts and cook until they are browned on both sides.
- Stir in the rice, chicken broth, and soy sauce until everything is well mixed.
- Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice absorbs the liquid and the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove from heat and stir in the fresh herbs for added flavor and color.
- Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in soy sauce and garlic for 30 minutes before cooking. Add some vegetables like peas or diced carrots for added nutrition and color. Make sure not to lift the lid while it’s simmering, as this can let the steam escape and affect the cooking process.
