Ingredients

  • 1 cup white rice

Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Dice the onion and garlic. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 5 minutes.

4

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
