A delightful dish combining tender chicken with aromatic garlic and onions, served over fluffy rice.
Peel and finely chop the onion.
Chopping the onion finely ensures it cooks evenly and blends well with the dish.
Mince the garlic cloves.
Freshly minced garlic provides a more robust flavor compared to pre-minced or powdered alternatives.
Heat half of the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat until melted.
Using butter adds a rich flavor to the dish, but you can substitute with margarine if preferred.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan and sauté until the onion is translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning, as it can turn bitter.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
Cutting the chicken into uniform pieces ensures even cooking.
Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure the chicken browns nicely.
Cook the rice according to the package instructions.
Rinse the rice before cooking to remove excess starch and achieve fluffier grains.
Season the chicken mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
Taste the dish before adding salt to avoid over-seasoning.
Serve the chicken and onion mixture over the cooked rice.
Garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of paprika for a pop of color and flavor.
