🍴 Instructions:

1️⃣ Cook the Rice:
🍚 Rinse the rice and combine it with water or chicken broth in a saucepan. Add salt 🧂 and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed.

2️⃣ Prepare the Chicken:
🍗 Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder 🧄, onion powder 🧅, paprika 🌶️, salt, and black pepper.
🔥 Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

3️⃣ Make the Creamy Sauce:
🧈 Melt butter in the same skillet, then sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute.
🥣 Add the chicken broth, scraping the skillet to deglaze. Stir in heavy cream 🥛, parmesan cheese 🧀, thyme 🌿, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
🌿 Finish by stirring in fresh parsley.

4️⃣ Combine and Serve:
🍽️ Plate the cooked rice, top it with the chicken 🍗, and drizzle the creamy sauce 🥣 over everything. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.

Enjoy this cozy and flavorful dish! 🌟
