Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • Salt to taste
  • 200 grams fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until clear. In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed rice and chicken broth (or vegetable broth) with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until tender.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet, sauté briefly until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream along with thyme and oregano, scraping any browned bits from the skillet.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet, allowing it to simmer in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes until heated through. Meanwhile, steam or blanch green beans.
  5. Fluff rice with a fork before serving alongside slices of chicken topped with creamy sauce and green beans.
