Velvety Garlic Parmesan Chicken Bowls are a creamy, decadent dish featuring tender chicken bathed in a rich garlic and Parmesan sauce. Served over a bed of fluffy rice, this dish is not only comforting but also packed with flavor, making it a perfect weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup heavy cream for the sauce
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese plus more for serving
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons butter for sautéing
- 1 cup chicken broth low-sodium preferred
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice for serving
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and Italian seasoning. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring well. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat and let it thicken for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix until fully coated in the creamy sauce.
- Serve the creamy garlic Parmesan chicken over a generous portion of cooked jasmine rice. Garnish with additional Parmesan and fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
Tip 1: For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in garlic and herbs for 30 minutes before cooking.
Tip 2: This dish can be made ahead; simply reheat gently on the stove before serving.
Variation: Add steamed broccoli or spinach for a nutrient boost and color.
