Ingredients

1 pound chicken tenderloins or thin chicken breasts
1 ½ cups long grain white rice
4 cups chicken broth or stock (divided)
1 medium onion (diced fine, about 1 cup)
4 garlic cloves (minced)
2 teaspoons garlic powder (divided)
2 teaspoons salt (divided)
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet (one with a lid) over medium heat. Add onion to the pan and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, about 5-6 minutes or until translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Add the rice and saute for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, or until lightly browned and toasted.
Meanwhile, combine 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, paprika, onion powder, and pepper. Season chicken on both sides, and set aside.
Nestle the chicken into the rice and add 3 cups of the chicken broth, careful not to pour over the chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Cook undisturbed for 20 minutes. Resist the temptation to lift the lid as it will release steam which is necessary for cooking the rice.
Remove lid and give it a good stir. Pour in the remaining cup of chicken broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder and red pepper flakes if using. Cover and cook another 10-15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. If rice is not done, continue to add small amounts of chicken broth until tender.
Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh minced parsley if desired.

MAMAW'S CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE

Mamaw's Chicken and Rice Casserole image

I grew up on this recipe, my Grandmother got it from a lady from church at a pot luck a long time ago! She passed it down to my mom and it's always been a family favorite. Quick and easy for school nights, and the leftovers are just as good! You can use less butter on top of course, my Momma and Mamaw always put the full stick on top (gotta love Southern ladies and their butter!)
