Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

For the Rice:

  • 2 cups cooked rice

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Grill the Chicken:
    • Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
    • Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
    • Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
    • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
    • In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
    • Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
    • Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper.
    • Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  • Assemble the Bowls:
    • Divide the cooked rice among serving bowls.
    • Top each bowl with sliced chicken and drizzle generously with the creamy garlic sauce.

Notes

  • Substitute brown rice or quinoa for a healthier option.
  • Add a splash of lemon juice to the sauce for a zesty flavor twist.
  • Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
