Notes
- Storage: Store garlic chicken and rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Use heavy cream for the richest flavor and creamiest texture.
- You can add in some additional veggies into this recipe like mushrooms or bell pepper. Cook the chicken, remove from the pan, the saute the veggies before adding the chicken back in and carrying on with the recipe.
- You may need to add in a little extra stock when you reheat as the rice will have absorbed the liquid.
