Ingredients

Chicken Breast	1.5 lbs (680g)
Garlic	3 cloves, minced
Rice	1 cup, dry
Salt	1 tsp

Instructions

Season chicken breast pieces generously on all sides with salt and garlic powder.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat.
Add chicken and brown 3 minutes per side — it does not need to be cooked through yet. Remove to a plate.
Add rice to the same pot and stir to coat in the remaining fat. Toast 1 minute.
Add 2 cups water and another pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
Nestle the browned chicken back on top of the rice. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and simmer 20 minutes.
Check that the chicken has reached 165°F internal temperature and the rice has absorbed all the liquid.
Rest covered for 5 minutes, then fluff the rice and serve.
