Ingredients
Serves 8
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 8 boneless, skinless chicken-breast halves (about 5 ounces each)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1/8-inch strips
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups half-and-half
- 2 cups hot cooked long-grain rice
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives
Directions
1
Combine the flour, garlic salt and dill in a shallow bowl. Coat chicken with the flour mixture. Reserve remaining flour mixture.
2
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in hot oil until lightly browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in center of meat registers 180ºF, about 15 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate; keep warm.
3
Sauté bell pepper in skillet drippings for 1 minute; drain pepper.
4
Drain the skillet, leaving crusty brown particles. Melt butter in skillet. Whisk garlic salt and reserved flour mixture into butter. Cook over low heat, stirring continually, for 1 1/2 minutes. Gradually whisk enough half- and-half into skillet to make the cream sauce the consistency of pancake batter.
5
Mix rice and green onions in a medium bowl. Spoon onto a serving platter. Arrange chicken on top of the rice mixture. Spoon sauce over chicken. Top with the sautéed bell pepper and black olives. Serve immediately.

Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma was careful not to let the half-and-half curdle. She turned the heat to low before adding the half-and-half to the skillet, and afterward, she did not let the mixture boil. When cooking with cream, her advice was "low and slow."
