Delicious easy chicken & rice bowls with creamy garlic sauce recipe recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1 cup Long-grain rice, uncooked
  • 2 cups Chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, and paprika. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Step 2: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Add the rice and chicken broth to the same skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
  4. Step 4: While the rice is cooking, prepare the creamy garlic sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and minced garlic until smooth.
  5. Step 5: Divide the rice among bowls. Top with the cooked chicken and drizzle generously with the creamy garlic sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Store leftover components separately (chicken, rice, and sauce) in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • For best results, reheat the chicken and rice separately in the microwave or skillet before assembling your bowl.
  • Garnish your bowls with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and added flavor.
  • To prevent the garlic flavor in the sauce from becoming too intense, use roasted garlic cloves for a sweeter, mellower taste.
