Tender chicken breasts cooked in a rich blend of smoky BBQ sauce and cooking cream, served alongside fluffy white rice.

This BBQ Creamy Chicken recipe is an innovative dish that combines smoky American flavors with a luxurious European creamy touch. The secret to a successful BBQ Creamy Chicken lies in the balance of flavors; the cream cuts through the intensity and sweetness of the BBQ sauce to create a harmonious sauce that coats the tender chicken breast pieces. In this dish, we focus on browning the chicken well to get a flavor-rich outer layer before adding liquids. Using white rice as a base is the perfect choice, as it absorbs the rich sauce and makes every bite satisfying. If you're looking for a quick meal in under 30 minutes that looks like restaurant food, BBQ Creamy Chicken is the ideal choice. You can also add a touch of smoked paprika to enhance the taste, or garnish with green onions for fresh flavor and vibrant color. This recipe is perfect for family dinners or even a quick and nutritious work lunch, providing high protein and balanced carbohydrates. Make sure to wash the rice well to remove excess starch for a fluffy, non-sticky texture alongside the creamy sauce.

Ingredients

400 g Diced chicken breasts (about 2 large breasts)
190 g Basmati rice (1 cup)
120 ml BBQ sauce (half cup)
240 ml Cooking cream (1 cup)
1 count Finely chopped onion
2 cloves Minced garlic
1 tbsp Butter
1 tbsp Olive oil
1 tsp Salt and black pepper

Instructions

1
Start by cooking the Basmati rice in a pot of salted water according to standard instructions until it is fluffy and tender.
2
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3
Add the chicken breast cubes, season with salt and black pepper, and stir until they are browned and golden.
4
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the chicken and continue stirring until the onion softens and the garlic becomes fragrant.
5
Pour the BBQ sauce over the chicken and stir well to coat all pieces.
6
Add the cooking cream and reduce the heat; let the mixture simmer gently for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes rich.
7
Serve the chicken with the creamy sauce immediately alongside the hot rice.

Chef's Tips

•For a stronger smoky flavor, you can add a pinch of smoked paprika to the chicken while browning.
•If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it with two tablespoons of water or chicken broth.
•Make sure not to overcook the chicken breasts so they don't become dry; once they are cooked through and have absorbed the sauce, remove them from the heat.
