Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

3–4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

For the Rice:

1 cup long-grain white rice
2 cups water

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

4–6 cloves fresh garlic, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

Instructions

Cook the Rice: Rinse the long-grain rice under cold water, then combine with 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the water is absorbed.
Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, cook each side for about 6-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove from skillet and let rest before slicing.
Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, sauté chopped garlic until fragrant. Add heavy cream and soy sauce; stir continuously for about 5 minutes until thickened.
Combine and Serve: Return sliced chicken to the skillet, ensuring it’s coated with sauce; warm through for an additional 2-3 minutes. Fluff the rice and divide into bowls; top with the saucy chicken and garnish as desired.
