- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 1 cup long grain white rice dry

- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add olive oil to the pan.
- Add chicken to the pan and saute for 9-10 minutes, until the edges start to brown. (The chicken doesn’t have to be completely cooked because it will continue to cook)
- Add onion and garlic to the pan with the chicken. Saute for an additional 5 minutes.
- Stir in rice, spices and broth (leave the cheese til the end!) Cover and cook for 10 minutes. (Pro Tip: to speed up cook time, microwave your broth until warm before adding to the pan)
