Step 1

Heat pan to medium high heat.  Rub the chicken breasts with the oil and place in hot pan.  (not putting any oil into the pan itself).  Let cook for 3-4 minutes and turn.  Chicken will release easily from the pan once it is at a perfect sear.  Turn and cook another 3-4 minutes.

Step 2

Remove seared chicken from skillet (chicken will not be fully cooked but will continue to cook with rice).

Step 3

Add mushrooms to hot pan. Cook until caramelized and brown. About 4-5 minutes.  Do not salt.  Salting the mushrooms before will keep them from getting perfectly brown.

Step 4

Add uncooked rice, garlic and oregano.

Step 5

Saute until garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Add chicken stock, cream. salt and pepper to rice mixture.

Step 7

Nestle chicken on top of rice and reduce heat to medium.

Step 8

Cover pan.   Continue to cook on the stove top for 20-25 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and chicken is cooked though to 165 degrees internally.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced green onions if desired.  Serve with simple veggie like steamed broccoli or cauliflower.
