  1. Ingredients:
    For the Chicken:
    • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
    • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
    For the Garlic Parmesan Rice:
    • 1 cup long-grain white rice
    • 2 cups chicken broth
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
    Directions:
    1. Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper on both sides.
    2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest.
    3. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
    4. Add the rice to the skillet, stirring to coat the rice in the garlic butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then add the chicken broth.
    5. Bring the broth to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let the rice cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
    6. Once the rice is cooked, stir in the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    7. Slice the cooked chicken and serve it over the garlic Parmesan rice. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
