→ Main Ingredients

01 - 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
02 - 1 cup long-grain white rice
03 - 4-6 cloves fresh garlic
04 - 1 cup heavy cream
05 - 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
06 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

# Instructions:

01 - 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.
02 - 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.
03 - In the same skillet, sauté chopped garlic until fragrant. Add heavy cream and soy sauce; stir continuously for about 5 minutes until thickened.
04 - Return sliced chicken to the skillet, ensuring it’s coated with sauce; warm through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
05 - Fluff the rice and divide into bowls; top with the saucy chicken and garnish as desired.

# Notes:

01 - Marinate chicken in soy sauce and minced garlic for at least an hour for enhanced flavor.
02 - Adjust sauce thickness by adding broth if needed.
03 - Mix in steamed vegetables like broccoli or bell peppers for added nutrition.
