6. Serve the chicken fillets on a bed of garlic rice with parmesan, with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over. Garnish with extra grated parmesan cheese if desired.
Variations and tips
- For an extra touch of richness, stir in a dollop of whipped cream to the cooked rice before adding the parmesan cheese.
- If you're craving something a little more spicier, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the rice while you're frying the garlic.
- To get more vegetables into the dish, mix in some frozen peas or diced bell pepper with the rice after it's cooked.
- This recipe also works great with other chicken pieces. If you're using thicker pieces like breasts, simply increase the cooking time accordingly for the chicken.
- The leftover garlic and parmesan rice can be turned into delicious rice balls or arancini the next day, making a great appetizer or snack.
