In the same pan, move heat to medium and add another drizzle of olive oil to heat again. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes until starting to get soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic, stir together with the onions and cook for another minute.

Next add the rice to the pan with the onions and garlic, continue to stir while the rice toasts for about 2-3 minutes.

Add the chicken broth and heavy cream to the rice mixture plus a large pinch of salt and pepper. Stir together and bring to a simmer. Add the browned chicken back to the pan and move the heat to low. Cover the pan with a lid and let cook for 25-30 minutes or until the rice is soft.

Remove the lid, add the parmesan cheese and stir into the rice. Add the parsley and more salt/pepper if needed then serve!
