Smothered Chicken and Rice
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs), cut into chunks
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup diced tomatoes (optional)
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried thyme
½ tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
2 cups cooked white rice
Instructions:
Cook the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and paprika. Sear until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Sauté the Aromatics:
In the same skillet, add diced onions and cook until translucent. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Prepare the Sauce:
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Add diced tomatoes, thyme, and cayenne pepper. Stir and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Combine and Simmer:
Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and let it simmer in the sauce for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce thickens.
Serve:
Spoon the smothered chicken and sauce over cooked white rice. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
