Ingredients

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice (or jasmine rice)
  • 2 cups chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 lb (≈ 450 g) chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned & drained)
  • Optional garnish: chopped parsley, extra Parmesan

Instructions

  1. Cook the garlic parmesan rice: Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in rice and toast lightly. Pour in chicken broth, bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes until tender. Fluff with a fork, stir in Parmesan, and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook the chicken: Season chicken with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through.
  3. Assemble the bowl: Divide the garlic parmesan rice among serving bowls. Top with cooked chicken and sprinkle with corn. Garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Stir in a spoonful of cream cheese or light cream for extra creaminess.
  • Add veggies like broccoli, peas, or bell peppers for variety.
  • Swap in shredded rotisserie chicken for a faster version.
  • Use brown rice or cauliflower rice for a lighter option (adjust liquid and time).
  • Store leftovers up to 3 days and reheat with a splash of broth to loosen rice.
