Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides (about 5-7 minutes per side).
  2. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add minced garlic; sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice; bring to a simmer.
  3. Stir in heavy cream; cook until slightly thickened (about 3-5 minutes). Return the chicken to the skillet and coat well with the sauce. Simmer on low heat for an additional 5 minutes.
  4. In a separate pot, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Add rice; reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Stir in chopped parsley and thyme before serving.
  5. Plate the creamy lemon garlic chicken alongside herb rice and enjoy!
