- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add cubed chicken breasts, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same pot, add jasmine rice and toast for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Stir in heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder until cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy.
- Return the cooked chicken to the pot and stir to combine.
- Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider incorporating vegetables such as peas, carrots, or spinach during the cooking process.
- To make the dish lighter, substitute half-and-half or whole milk for heavy cream, though the sauce will be less rich.
- Ensure the rice is fully cooked before adding the cream and cheese to achieve the desired creamy consistency.
