Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then cook it by bringing it to a boil in a medium saucepan with 2 and a half cups of water. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
While the pasta and rice are cooking, finely chop the onion and garlic. Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until they become translucent and fragrant.
Add the diced chicken to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 7-8 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through and golden brown.
Add the cooked pasta and rice to the skillet with the chicken. Pour in the chicken broth and mix well. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
Stir in the butter and grated parmesan cheese until the cheese is melted and evenly coated over the pasta and rice.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious chicken pasta with rice.
