Ingredients

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil

1 Pound Chicken Breasts Skinless, Boneless, Sliced

2 Cups Water
2 Tablespoons Fresh Basil Leaves Chopped

Instructions

Set the skillet on a burner. Heat up the skillet, setting the temperature to medium-high heat. Add oil to coat the bottom of the skillet.
On the cutting board, use the chef’s knife to peel the skin off of the garlic clove. Chop the garlic clove. Set aside for the next step.
Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the heated skillet. Use tongs to cook both sides of the chicken evenly. When the chicken has been thoroughly cooked, add in the chopped garlic. Stir and allow to cook for about 30 seconds. Remove the ingredients from the skillet. Set aside.
In the same skillet used to cook the chicken, add two cups of water and the package of Knorr Rice Sides. Raise the heat to bring the contents in the skillet to a boil. Stir the contents.
Once the contents have achieved a boil, stir then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the skillet to simmer the contents for 7 minutes.
Turn off the burner.
On the cutting board, use the chef’s knife to slice the cooked chicken breasts into desired thickness.
The chicken should be sliced into easy, biteable pieces. Add the chicken to the skillet with the cooked Knorr Rice Sides. Stir the contents to combine them together.
The skillet should still be warm. Sprinkle in the cheese, giving it an optional stir to combine with the other ingredients.
Grab the two tomatoes, setting them on the cutting board. Use the chef’s knife to chop the tomatoes into even, biteable pieces. Set aside.
On the same cutting board, chop the fresh basil leaves to garnish the dish.
In the same skillet, add chopped tomatoes and basil. Stir thoroughly to combine with the other ingredients.
Serve warm and garnish with more basil if desired. Enjoy!
