Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter with olive oil.

Step 2

Season diced chicken with salt and pepper, then sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and softened.

Step 4

Stir in the rice, coating it in the butter and oil, and cook for 1–2 minutes to lightly toast.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 18–20 minutes until the rice is tender and the broth is absorbed.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream, cooked chicken, frozen peas and carrots, Parmesan cheese, and paprika. Cook another 5 minutes until creamy and heated through.

Step 7

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
