🛒 Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
2 chicken breasts 🍗
1 tbsp olive oil 🫒
Salt & pepper to taste 🧂
1/2 tsp smoked paprika 🌶️
For the Creamy Herb Sauce:
1 tbsp butter 🧈
2 garlic cloves, minced 🧄
100ml heavy cream 🥛
1 tbsp Dijon mustard 🌿
1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped 🌿
Salt & pepper to taste 🧂
For the Sautéed Onions & Rice:
1 onion, thinly sliced 🧅
1 tbsp olive oil 🫒
150g basmati or long grain rice 🍚
Water & salt for cooking 💧🧂
Extra parsley for garnish (optional) 🌿
👩🍳 Instructions:
Cook the rice according to package directions. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika. In a skillet, heat olive oil and sear the chicken on medium heat for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Set aside. In the same pan, sauté sliced onions until caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. In another small saucepan, melt butter, sauté garlic, then stir in cream, mustard, parsley, salt, and pepper. Simmer until slightly thickened. Slice the chicken and serve over rice with sautéed onions and a generous drizzle of herb cream sauce. Garnish with more parsley.
💡 Notes & Variations:
You can grill the chicken instead of pan-searing it for a smoky flavor.
Try thyme or chives in the sauce for variation.
Serve with mashed potatoes instead of rice for a cozy twist!
