Instructions

Season chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika.

Cook rice according to package directions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and stir in the 1/4 tsp parsley flakes, salt, and pepper. Keep warm.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil (or butter) to the skillet. If using, add minced carrot and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

Sprinkle flour into the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute to create a roux.

Gradually whisk in the almond milk, ensuring no lumps. Stir in the remaining paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring until thickened.

Slice chicken breasts against the grain and return them to the skillet, coating them in the creamy sauce.

Final Notes

Serve the creamy paprika chicken immediately over the herbed rice. A simple and satisfying dish that feels gourmet.
