🧄 Ingredients
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
For the Chicken:
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Rice & Veggies:
- 1 cup uncooked jasmine or basmati rice
- 2 ½ cups chicken broth (or water)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 ½ cups mixed vegetables (broccoli, carrots, peas, or bell peppers)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or cream (for extra creaminess)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Sear the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add chicken pieces, season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika.
Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics
In the same pan, melt butter.
Add chopped onion and garlic, sautéing for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
This is the flavor base that will make your kitchen smell heavenly. 🌿
Step 3: Cook the Rice
Add uncooked rice to the skillet and stir for 30 seconds to coat each grain in butter and garlic.
Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a gentle simmer, then cover and reduce heat to low.
Let cook for 12–15 minutes, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Step 4: Add the Veggies
Once the rice is cooked, add your mixed vegetables.
Stir, cover again, and let steam for 3–4 minutes until tender.
Step 5: Make It Creamy
Stir in the cooked chicken, Parmesan cheese, and Greek yogurt (or cream).
Mix gently until everything is warm, creamy, and perfectly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lemon juice if you like brightness. 🍋
Step 6: Serve & Enjoy
Scoop into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot!
This dish is comfort, nutrition, and happiness all in one bite. 💛

📜 History
The idea of one-pan meals has roots in traditional European and Asian home cooking, where cooks would combine grains, proteins, and vegetables into a single pot for convenience and flavor.
This particular combination — garlic, rice, chicken, and cream — takes inspiration from Italian risottos and Mediterranean skillet dishes, but it’s been simplified for modern home kitchens.
Over time, busy home cooks around the world have embraced this concept — because it’s flavorful, nutritious, and mess-free.
🏗️ Formation (How This Recipe Came to Be)
This recipe was born from a desire for something balanced yet indulgent — a dish that could nourish the body while satisfying the soul.
By combining lean chicken with vegetables and rice, you get a solid nutritional foundation.
Adding butter, garlic, and a hint of Parmesan gives it the rich comfort food vibe that makes you crave it again and again.
It’s the best of both worlds: health meets heartiness.
