Instructions


0 In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
1 Add the cubed chicken and season how you like. I used garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.
2 Stir in the cream cheese cubes and let them melt into the chicken, creating a creamy base.
3 Pour in the chicken broth, add the instant rice, and stir in the garlic parmesan sauce. Mix well until the rice is evenly coated and fully submerged in the liquid.
4 Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let cook for 10 minutes. Stir halfway through to ensure the cream cheese is fully incorporated and the rice cooks evenly.
5 Once the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
6 Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil for 2–3 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown. (If your skillet isn’t oven-safe, transfer the mixture to a baking dish first.)
7 Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and garnish with parsley or red pepper flakes if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
