- 1 cup uncooked white rice
- 3 cloves garlic chopped
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 1/4 cup chicken stock
- 1/4 cup heavy cream optional
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Sliced onions for garnish
Instructions
- Warm your pan over medium-high heat and coat the chicken breasts with oil before adding them to the pan without extra oil.
- Cook the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes on one side until it easily releases from the pan, then flip and cook another 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pan, leaving it to finish cooking with the rice later.
- Add the mushrooms to the hot pan and cook for 4 to 5 minutes without salt until they become browned and caramelized.
- Stir in the uncooked rice, garlic, and oregano and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the garlic aroma develops.
- Pour in the chicken stock and cream, then season with salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken on top of the rice mixture, lower the heat to medium, and cover the pan.
- Let everything cook for 20 to 25 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the chicken reaches 165 degrees internally.
- Garnish with sliced green onions if you like and serve with steamed broccoli or cauliflower.
