Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 tbsp butter; 1 lb chicken breast; 1/2 medium onion; 1 tsp paprika; 1 tsp garlic powder; 1 tsp onion powder; salt, to taste; black pepper, to taste; 1 tbsp minced garlic; 1/4 cup parmesan garlic wing sauce; 1 cup long grain white rice; 2 cups chicken broth; 2 oz cream cheese; 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided; 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled; 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

1

In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter.

2

Add the bite-sized chicken pieces and chopped onion to the skillet. Season with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

3

Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

4

Stir in the minced garlic and parmesan garlic sauce until everything is well coated.

5

Add the rinsed rice to the skillet and stir for about a minute to toast it slightly.

6

Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine, making sure the rice is submerged.

7

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it cook for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.

8

Remove from heat and stir in the cream cheese and about half of the shredded mozzarella until fully melted and incorporated.

9

Top the skillet with the remaining mozzarella cheese and the crumbled bacon.

10

Place the skillet in the oven under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
