Ingredients
1 Green Bell Pepper1 Red Bell Pepper1 Yellow Onion3 Cloves of garlic4 large boneless chicken breasts4 cups light cream4 cups chicken broth2 tbsp olive oil8 tbsp white cooking wine2 tbsp butter8 cups rice (of your choice, this recipe includes short grain white)Parmesan cheese (grated)
Makes 20 1-cup servings
Chop pepper and onions
Cut chicken into bite size squares
In a large skillet, add olive oil and garlic (pressed), sautee' until garlic starts to turn brown, add chicken and cook until no longer pink in the middle. Add red and green bell peppers. Simmer until peppers are cooked to your liking.
In separate stock pot, melt butter, sautee' onions until soft, add rice, add white cooking wine and allow to steam through rice. Add in small increments the cream and chicken broth (I add these two ingredients together in my measuring cup, then pour slowly). The key is to add the liquid slowly and at a low heat so that the rice becomes tender.
Once you've added all of the liquid and simmered it through, add the chicken mixture.
Top with parmesan cheese.
