Instructions
Preparation Steps
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the rice and stir for 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
Stir in the grated parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes into the rice. Slice the chicken and return to the pan, mixing everything gently.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
For added flavor, squeeze fresh lemon juice over before serving. Serve with a crisp salad.
