Ingredients

Garlic Butter Chicken

  • 500 g chicken breasts boneless and skinless cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 50 g unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried origanum
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Rice

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cup water
  • salt to taste

Instructions

Start by preparing the rice:

  • Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  • In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
  • Add a pinch of salt and the rinsed rice to the boiling water.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff the rice with a fork and set it aside.

While the rice is cooking, prepare the Garlic Butter Chicken:

  • Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, dried oregano, dried thyme, and paprika.
  • In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook until they are browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
  • In the same pan, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add the butter to the pan and let it melt, stirring to combine with the garlic.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Allow it to cook for a few minutes to reduce slightly.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the pan and stir to coat it with the garlic butter sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
  • To serve, scoop a portion of cooked rice onto each plate and top it with the Garlic Butter Chicken.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
