Instructions
- Season the chicken with the sweet paprika, garlic powder and onion powder. Set aside.
- In a large skillet melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until aromatic.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes until no longer pink.
- Add Italian seasoning, rice, chicken broth and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for 15 minutes without stirring in the rice.
- Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese and cook for a couple more minutes until the rice absorbs most of the cream. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper as needed.
- Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Rinse the rice before cooking. For fluffier rice, you will want to rinse the uncooked rice in a strainer under cool running water. This will remove any excess starch or debris.
- Do not disturb the lid. You do not need to stir the rice or peek to see if it’s done. It’s crucial that the lid stays securely on the skillet for the 15 minutes that the rice is steaming.
- Season at the end. Do not add any extra salt until the dish is complete and ready to serve. Both the chicken stock and parmesan cheese have salt in them and season the rice quite a bit.
- Leftover creamy chicken and rice will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
