Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley or thyme, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by chopping your garlic and trimming any excess fat from the chicken breasts.
- Heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat in a large pot.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté until it becomes fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Place the chicken breasts in the pot and cook, browning on both sides for approximately 5–7 minutes.
- Stir in the uncooked rice, chicken broth, and soy sauce until everything is well combined.
- Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and allow it to simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed the liquid and the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the fresh herbs.
- Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
