Instructions
1

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Next, chop your favorite vegetables, such as bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots, into bite-sized pieces.

2

In a mixing bowl, toss the chopped vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

3

Spread the vegetables evenly on a baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

4

While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the creamy garlic herb sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.

5

Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

6

Add 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, stirring well to combine.

7

Allow the sauce to simmer for 5 minutes, then season with salt and pepper to taste. In a separate pot, cook 1 cup of rice according to package instructions.

8

Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and set it aside. Open the can of chicken and drain the liquid.

9

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained chicken with the creamy garlic herb sauce, mixing until the chicken is well coated.

10

To assemble the comfort bowls, start with a base of fluffy rice, then spoon the creamy chicken mixture over the rice.

11

Top with the roasted vegetables and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color. Serve immediately and enjoy the warmth and comfort of this unique dish!
