Follow these steps to create your delicious Creamy Chicken and Rice:

1. Prep the Chicken: Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika for extra flavor.
2. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
4. Add Rice and Broth: Stir in the uncooked rice and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
5. Combine Ingredients: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed the broth.
6. Stir in Cream and Vegetables: Once the rice is tender, stir in the heavy cream and frozen peas and carrots mix. Mix until everything is combined.
7. Simmer: Allow the dish to simmer for an additional 5 minutes until heated through and the sauce thickens. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.

These straightforward steps will guide you in creating a comforting and delicious meal that everyone will love!
