Instructions

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until no longer pink. Remove chicken and set aside.
  • Melt remaining butter in same pot. Add carrots, onion, and garlic. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until fragrant and softened.
  • Add rice and stir for 1 to 2 minutes to lightly toast grains.
  • Add chicken stock and parsley flakes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cover.
  • Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until rice is tender and most liquid is absorbed.
  • Return chicken to the pot and stir to combine. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Optional: Stir in additional butter to taste. Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm.

Notes

To avoid mushy rice, use quality long grain rice. Cut chicken into small, bite-sized pieces for even cooking. Store leftovers in airtight containers. Reheat with a splash of broth for best results.
