Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Allow it to reduce slightly for about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Let the mixture simmer for another 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  5. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet along with the frozen peas. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the peas are heated through.
  6. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Serve the creamy garlic chicken over a bed of cooked rice and garnish with fresh parsley.
