Cooking Instructions

• Season chicken tenders with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet. Sauté chicken tenders until nicely browned and just cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet, cover chicken then set aside.
• Add butter, garlic, pepper flakes and ½ teaspoon of salt to the skillet then sauté garlic for 3 minutes (do not let the garlic burn or become too brown).
• Increase skillet temperature to medium-high then add white wine. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon to emulsify the wine into the butter. Cook and stir for approximately 5 minutes or until mixture is reduced by half. Remove and set aside 2 tablespoons of pan sauce to use later.
• Add rice to skillet then stir and cook for 3-4 minutes or until rice starts to brown just a little. Add chicken broth and remaining 1 teaspoon of salt.
• Bring mixture to a low boil then reduce heat to medium-low, cover pan then cook for 20 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir once or twice the first 15 minutes of cooking but not more than that.
• Sprinkle parmesan over rice then arrange chicken tenders in skillet over rice. Drizzle reserved 2 tablespoons of pan sauce over chicken tenders. Cover, remove from heat then let stand for 5 minutes. Garnish dish with more parmesan and chopped fresh parsley if desired.
