Cooking Instructions
  1. Season the chicken tenders with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken tenders for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Sauté 4 minced garlic cloves for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Pour in ½ cup of white wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping browned bits from the bottom. Add juice from one lemon and mix.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of rice, ensuring it's coated with the mixture. Toast rice for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Add 2 cups of chicken broth to the rice, place the chicken tenders back in the skillet, cover, and simmer on low for 20 minutes.
  6. Once the rice is fluffy, sprinkle with ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese and let it melt covered for 2 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve.
