Creamy Smothered Chicken with Rice is a delicious and comforting dish featuring tender chicken breasts smothered in a creamy sauce with mushrooms, peas, and rice, topped with Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  2. Sauté Mushrooms: In the same skillet, sauté mushrooms until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Prepare Creamy Sauce: Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, simmer gently. Add peas and rice, return chicken to the skillet, top with creamy mixture.
  4. Simmer and Serve: Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the chicken, cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes. Garnish with parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, you can substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or a plant-based cream alternative.
  • To add extra flavor, consider incorporating fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary while the sauce simmers.
