Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté onion and garlic until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add rice, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat the rice with the seasonings.
- Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and cook for 20 minutes or until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through.
- Stir in heavy cream and let simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Serve hot.
