Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 g chicken breast, cubed
  • 200 g long grain or basmati rice
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 250 ml hot chicken broth
  • 200 ml heavy cream or crème fraîche
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp paprika

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, combine olive oil and butter. Once melted, add sliced onions and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
