Description
A comforting one-pan meal featuring tender chicken in a creamy herb sauce, served over fluffy rice with crisp green beans.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and oregano. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add onion and garlic, sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in rice and cook for 1 minute to lightly toast.
- Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add green beans, then return chicken to the skillet. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through.
- Reduce heat to low, stir in heavy cream, Parmesan, parsley, and thyme. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes until sauce thickens. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with extra herbs if desired.
