Creamy Chicken and Rice

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the rice and stir to coat with the oil. Add the chicken broth and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
3. Stir in the chicken, cover, and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes more.
4. Remove from the heat and stir in the sour cream, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
5. Serve hot.
