Cooking Steps
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Sauté the onion and garlic together until they become translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
Cook the diced chicken in the same pan, stirring occasionally, until it’s browned and cooked through, roughly 5–7 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook until they soften, about 3–4 minutes.
Stir in the rice, ensuring every grain is coated. Next, pour in the chicken broth and bring it all to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Mix in the heavy cream, seasoning with salt and pepper, then cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Serve warm and enjoy every comforting bite.
