  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice

For the Vegetables

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Cooking
  1. Sear the chicken in a hot pan until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  2. Toss the potatoes and mushrooms with olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Roast for 30-35 minutes.
  3. In a separate pot, sauté minced garlic in butter, then add rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover until fluffy, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. In the same pan used for the chicken, melt more butter and cook garlic until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream, add Parmesan, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper, and let simmer until smooth.
  5. Slice the chicken and drizzle with the creamy herb sauce. Serve with garlic rice and roasted vegetables.

Notes

For a budget-friendly option, use pantry staple ingredients. Marinate chicken beforehand for deeper flavors. Storage tips: Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
