Swap chicken for turkey or pork chops using the same method.

For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk or cashew cream.

Add mushrooms or spinach to the rice for extra flavor and nutrition.

Spice it up with a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes.
FAQ
Q: Can I use brown rice instead of white rice?
A: Yes, but brown rice requires longer cooking time and more liquid. Adjust broth to 2 cups and cook covered for about 40-45 minutes.
Q: What if I don’t have heavy cream?
A: Use full-fat coconut milk or a mix of cream cheese and milk for a similar creamy texture.
Q: Can I make this recipe in an Instant Pot?
A: Absolutely! Sear the chicken using the sauté function, then add ingredients and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes with a natural release.
