This creamy stovetop chicken and rice recipe combines tender chicken breasts, sautéed mushrooms and onions, fragrant garlic, and Italian seasonings with creamy Parmesan and milk for a comforting one-pan meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breasts, cut into cubes
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
  • 1/2 cup whole milk or heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cubed chicken, sliced mushrooms, and chopped onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken begins to brown and the vegetables soften.
  2. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until the garlic becomes fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
  3. Sprinkle Italian seasoning, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Mix thoroughly to evenly coat the chicken and vegetables with the spices.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and add the uncooked long grain white rice. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
  5. Stir in the whole milk (or heavy cream) and grated Parmesan cheese. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve the creamy chicken and rice immediately, enjoying it hot.
