Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked white rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  2. Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Return chicken to the skillet.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened.
  6. Stir in fresh parsley. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  7. Serve the creamy smothered chicken over cooked white rice.

Notes

  • You can use chicken broth or vegetable broth.
  • Adjust the amount of heavy cream to your preference for sauce thickness.
  • Fresh herbs like chives or dill also work well.
