Servings:
Ingredients
- For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika optional
- For the Garlic Parmesan Rice:
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups chicken broth or water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the Chicken: In a bowl, season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, paprika (if using), Italian seasoning, and minced garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and rub the seasonings into the chicken.
- Sear the Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer to Oven: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Rice:
- Sauté Garlic: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add Rice and Broth: Stir in the rice, followed by the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
- Add Parmesan: Once the rice is cooked, remove it from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve:
- Plate the Dish: Serve the baked chicken breasts over a bed of garlic Parmesan rice. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
