Creating this delicious Creamy Chicken and Rice is straightforward. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat.
2. Cook the Chicken: Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until the chicken is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the Rice: Stir the uncooked rice into the skillet with the chicken, mixing well.
4. Pour in Broth: Gradually add the chicken broth, stirring gently to combine.
5. Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat until the mixture starts to boil.
6. Reduce Heat: Lower the heat to a simmer, then cover with a lid. Let it cook for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the broth.
7. Stir in Cream: Once the rice is fully cooked, pour in the heavy cream, mixing to create a creamy sauce.
8. Final Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary.
9. Let it Sit: Remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.
10. Garnish and Serve: Serve hot, garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Following these steps will ensure that you achieve a creamy and delicious result each time!
