Ingredients

• 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
• kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 onion
• 8 oz. sliced baby bella mushrooms
• 1 c. RICE

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add chicken and season all over with salt and pepper. Cook until golden, 5 minutes, flipping once. Add onion and mushrooms and cook until all liquid released from mushrooms has evaporated and chicken is very golden, 6 minutes more.
Spoon chicken and mushrooms to one side of skillet and add rice to the other side. Let toast 1 minute, then stir until combined. Pour over chicken broth and heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Let simmer until rice is tender, about 20 minutes, until rice is tender and creamy.
Stir in cheddar and let melt, 1 minute. Stir in parsley. Serve.
