Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 3 teaspoons minced garlic
  • cups dry white or long grain rice
  • 3 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • ¾ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and thyme. Set aside.
  • In a large, oven-safe skillet, add butter and melt over medium heat.
  • Once butter is melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn.
  • Stir rice into butter mixture and toss to coat. Place chicken on top of rice in an even layer and add chicken broth to pan.
  • Cover skillet with lid or aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove lid/foil and continue to bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (it should reach an internal temperature of 165°F) and most of liquid from rice is absorbed.
  • Remove from oven and remove chicken from pan. Add shredded Parmesan cheese to rice and stir to combine until melted. Adjust seasonings, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Chicken and rice will last in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
