1. Cook the chicken
Cook the chicken in butter until golden, then remove from the pan.
Give the food a little time between stirs so it can brown and build flavor.
2. Cook the aromatics
Cook the onion and garlic in the same pan until fragrant.
Once garlic smells strong and toasty, move quickly so it does not burn and turn bitter.
3. Step 3
Add the rice and stir for 1 minute.
4. Bring it together
Pour in the chicken broth and return the chicken to the pan.
5. Step 5
Cover and simmer until the rice is tender and the chicken is fully cooked.
A simmer uses small steady bubbles, not a hard rolling boil.
