Angel Chicken Rice is a creamy, flavorful dish combining tender chicken with a rich, garlicky sauce served over fluffy rice—a perfect comfort meal for any occasion!
Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Sauce:
1 packet ranch dressing mix (dry)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 cup heavy cream
For the Rice:
1 cup white rice (or brown rice, if preferred)
2 cups water or chicken broth
Instructions:
Cook the Rice:
In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water or chicken broth to a boil.
Add the rice, reduce heat to low, and cover.
Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Set aside.
Prepare the Chicken:
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C). Remove and set aside.
Make the Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Add the cream cheese, chicken broth, and garlic powder, stirring until the cream cheese is fully melted.
Stir in the ranch dressing mix, onion powder, and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Combine and Serve:
Slice the cooked chicken and add it back to the skillet, coating it in the creamy sauce.
Serve the chicken and sauce over the cooked rice.
