Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 pound Chicken Tenders Boneless chicken breasts can serve as a great substitute.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Swap with olive oil for a lighter dish.
For the Rice
  • 1 cup Long-Grain White Rice Brown rice will need a longer cooking time.
  • 2 cups Chicken Broth Feel free to use vegetable broth for a vegetarian option.
  • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese Pecorino can be used for a sharper flavor kick.
For Flavor
  • 4 cloves Garlic Fresh garlic is preferred, but powdered garlic will do in a pinch.
  • ½ cup White Wine Replace with extra chicken broth if avoiding alcohol.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Fresh lemon juice is ideal, but bottled can be used as well.
  • ¼ cup Fresh Parsley Could be swapped with basil if desired.

Equipment

  • Large skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Season chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 5-6 minutes until golden brown, flip, and cook for additional 4-5 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, lower heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in ½ cup white wine to deglaze the pan, stirring for 2-3 minutes, reducing the wine by half.
  4. Stir in the juice of one fresh lemon, reserving some sauce for drizzling later.
  5. Introduce 1 cup of long-grain white rice and toast it in the buttery mixture for about 2 minutes.
  6. Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth and bring to simmer. Nestle the seared chicken on top of rice and sprinkle with ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese. Cover and cook on low heat for about 20 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat, drizzle reserved sauce over chicken and rice, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm.
