Description
A nourishing and flavorful Healthy Chicken Rice Bowl Recipe featuring tender chicken, fluffy rice, and a creamy garlic sauce that’s lighter but just as satisfying.
Ingredients
3–4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup long-grain white rice
4–6 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup light cream or half-and-half
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Rinse rice and cook with 2 cups of water for 18–20 minutes.
2. Season chicken and sear 6–7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
3. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 1 minute.
4. Stir in soy sauce and light cream; simmer until slightly thickened.
5. Slice chicken, return to skillet, and toss in sauce.
6. Serve over rice and garnish with parsley or vegetables.
Notes
Use Greek yogurt instead of cream for a lower-fat version.
Substitute brown rice or quinoa for more fiber.
Add vegetables like broccoli, carrots, or spinach for color and nutrients.
Reheat gently with a splash of milk to keep the sauce creamy.
