Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1.5 lbs)
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup short-grain rice
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups fresh spinach (or thawed frozen spinach)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear each side until golden brown (about 5 minutes per side). Remove from skillet.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Add rice to the skillet, stirring to coat with garlic flavors. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pan.

- Remove cover, pour in heavy cream, and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over everything. Mix gently until well combined.
