Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups water
- 4 medium potatoes, cubed
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add thyme and simmer for 5-7 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
- While sauce simmers, cook rice according to package instructions with water until fluffy. In a separate pan, toss cubed potatoes with vegetable oil and paprika, then roast at 400°F for 25-30 minutes until crispy.
- Return chicken to the skillet with cream sauce, spooning sauce over the top. Serve chicken alongside rice and potatoes, garnished with fresh parsley.
