Ingredients
  

For the Heavenly Creamy Herb Chicken Rice Bowl
  • 2 cups cooked rice any kind you like - white, brown, or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option
  • 1 lb chicken breast diced, boneless and skinless
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream the star of the dish
  • 1 cup chicken broth adds depth of flavor
  • 1 tbsp garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp onion diced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme for flavor
  • 1 tsp dried basil for flavor
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Large Skillet

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced chicken and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and diced onion. Sauté until the onion turns translucent.
  3. Step 3: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring well to combine. Add the dried thyme, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  4. Step 4: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat it in the creamy sauce. Allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Serve the creamy herb chicken over the cooked rice. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of chicken broth if needed to restore creaminess.
