This summer I had big plans to do a lot of cooking and baking. It started out alright but then the summer turned hot and humid. I suddenly didn’t feel like cooking or baking unless I did it first thing in the morning. We started making a lot of meals on the grill or the stove top. I was looking for a lot of new recipes.
One of these recipes is Easy Garlic Butter Chicken with Rice. This is a stove top meal that is ready in about 20 minutes so not only is it easy but it’s quick as well. I’m always looking for quick meals because when I get home from work in the fall the last thing I want to do is spend an hour in the kitchen cooking instead of hanging out with my little guy.
It’s basically chicken dipped in Parmesan cheese and seasonings pan fried in garlic butter. I mean really, who could resist that? If you like chicken, cheese, and butter, which are three of my favorite things, then this dish is calling your name. Then cooked rice is cooked in more butter, onions, and garlic to give it a bit of flavor as well.
There aren’t any vegetables in this meal so you could make roasted Brussels Sprouts or asparagus on the side. If you wanted to you could saute broccoli and bell peppers in garlic butter and then add the rice to that. I’m think about doing that next time to make it a complete meal.
The chicken came out tender and full of garlic butter and Parmesan flavor. The rice was fluffy and filled with flavor as well. I actually think this meal would be great served with rolls to soak up all the yummy sauce. Anyway you serve it, you’ll enjoy this quick and tasty chicken dinner.
