Step-by-Step Instructions
- Sear the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of butter and let it melt until bubbly. Season chicken tenders with salt and pepper, then cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add another tablespoon of butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let it burn.
- Incorporate the Wine: Pour in a splash of white wine and deglaze the pan, scraping bottom bits. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes, reducing liquid by half.
- Toast the Rice: Add rice and stir vigorously for 2-3 minutes until coated in garlic and wine mixture.
- Add Chicken Broth and Chicken: Pour in chicken broth, stir gently, and place seared chicken on top. Bring to a gentle boil, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Finish with Parmesan and Lemon: After rice is cooked, sprinkle grated Parmesan and drizzle lemon juice. Let it rest to allow cheese to melt in.
- Serve and Garnish: Remove lid, fluff rice with a fork, plate the dish, drizzle reserved sauce, and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes
For best results, avoid rushing the garlic and make sure to manage the broth ratio carefully to prevent mushy rice.
