Ingredients
- 4 chicken filets
- 250 g basmati rice
- 1 onion, finely sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 200 ml thick crème fraîche
- 250 ml chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic, cooking until they are soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chicken filets to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown.
- Sprinkle in the paprika, Herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper. Stir well to mix the spices with the chicken.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. This will infuse the chicken with flavor.
- Add the basmati rice to the skillet and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pan and allow it to cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
- Stir in the crème fraîche, mixing thoroughly. Allow it to cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the rice is fluffy.
- Serve the Chicken and Rice hot from the skillet, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for better flavor. Ensure the chicken is fully cooked by checking its temperature.
