Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for sauce)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced (for sauce)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for sauce)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (for sauce)
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan (for sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for sauce)
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice (for serving)
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (zucchini, bell peppers, carrots, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken dry and coat with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill chicken 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Let rest, then slice.
  3. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and simmer 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in heavy cream and cook until slightly thickened (3–4 minutes).
  6. Add Parmesan and lemon juice, stirring until silky smooth.
  7. Plate rice and vegetables. Arrange sliced chicken on top and spoon generous garlic cream sauce over.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add steamed broccoli or green beans for more nutrition.
  • Swap rice for mashed potatoes or quinoa for variety.
  • Sprinkle extra Parmesan for added richness.
  • Let chicken rest before slicing for juicy results.
  • Don’t overcook the sauce — simmer gently.
  • Add a pinch of chili flakes for subtle heat if desired.
