Ingredients:

• 1 medium yellow onion, diced

• 1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp onion powder

Directions:

Step 1

Peel and dice the white onion and set it aside. Next, melt 4 tbsp butter in a heavy-bottomed pan (with a lid) over medium-high heat. Once fully melted and sizzling, add the diced onion, and cook for four to five minutes or until soft and translucent. In the meantime, cut your chicken breasts into bite-size pieces and season with 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp ground black pepper, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning, and 1/4 tsp smoked paprika. Mix well to coat the chicken, then add the seasoned chicken to the skillet.

Step 2

Let the chicken sit for one to two minutes, then start flipping them until they’re nice and golden brown. Next, add the minced garlic and continue to cook for one minute. After this, add 2 1/2 cups chicken broth, turn up the heat to high, and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add 1 cup of uncooked long-grain white rice. Stir together, then turn down the heat to low. Place the lid on and cook for 15 to 20 minutes. When the cooking time is up, remove the lid and add 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese over the top along with 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream and 2 tbsp dried parsley. Stir in gently. Serve and enjoy!
