Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless chicken breast or thighs, cubed
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion (optional), finely chopped
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons flour or cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • 1 cup white rice

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice: Rinse 1 cup of white rice under cold water until clear. In a saucepan, combine rice with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 15 minutes; let it sit covered for another 5 minutes.
  2. Sauté aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add minced garlic and chopped onion (if using) and sauté until soft (about 3-4 minutes).
  3. Brown the chicken: Add cubed chicken to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Add mushrooms: Stir in sliced mushrooms and cook for another 4-5 minutes until softened.
  5. Create gravy: Pour in chicken broth and scrape any browned bits from the pan. Mix heavy cream with flour or cornstarch until smooth; add it to the skillet while stirring continuously until thickened.
  6. Serve: Plate fluffy rice topped with creamy chicken mushroom gravy and garnish with fresh parsley.
