6. Serve the chicken tenders on a bed of the garlic Parmesan rice, with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
Variations & Tips
- For an extra touch of richness, you can stir in a splash of heavy cream to the cooked rice before adding the Parmesan cheese.
- If you're in the mood for something with a bit more heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the rice as you're sautéing the garlic.
- To incorporate more veggies into the dish, you can mix in some frozen peas or diced bell peppers with the rice after it has finished cooking.
- This recipe works beautifully with other cuts of chicken as well. If using thicker cuts like breasts, simply increase the cooking time accordingly for the chicken.
- The leftover Garlic Parmesan Rice can be transformed into delectable rice balls or arancini the next day, making a delightful appetizer or snack.
