Creamy Chicken and Parmesan Rice

Ingredients

• 1 onion (chopped)
• 2 chicken breasts (cut into small cubes)
• 1 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• salt (to taste)
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp oil
• 3 garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 cup white rice
• 2 cup chicken broth or stock (or enough to cover the rice in the pot)
• 0.5 cup cooking cream
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan
• fresh coriander (for garnish)
• cherry tomatoes (optional; for garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   Peel and chop the onion. Cut the chicken breasts into small cubes.

2. 2

   Place the cubed chicken in a bowl. Season it with the paprika, black pepper, and salt, then toss well to coat.

3. 3

   Heat the oil and butter in a pot over medium heat.

4. 4

   Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft.

5. 5

   Add the seasoned chicken and cook, stirring, until browned.

6. 6

   Add the minced garlic and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

7. 7

   Add the white rice and pour in the chicken broth or stock, using enough liquid to cover the rice in the pot.

8. 8

   Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover the pot, lower the heat, and cook until the rice absorbs the liquid.

9. 9

   Add the cooking cream and grated Parmesan. Stir well to combine.

10. 10

    Garnish with fresh coriander and, if desired, cherry tomatoes.

Notes

The source does not specify exact cooking times for browning the chicken or cooking the rice, nor a precise heat level beyond lowering the heat after boiling. The broth amount may be adjusted so the rice is covered.
