Ingredients

For the Feast

• 4 chicken breasts, diced

Method

Step 1 – Prepare the Chicken

Season the diced chicken with half the salt and pepper.

Heat the olive oil in a large deep frying pan or sauté pan.

Cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes until lightly golden.

Remove and set aside.

Step 2 – Build the Base

Add the onion to the same pan.

Cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.

Add the garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 3 – Awaken the Rice

Add the rice to the pan.

Stir for 1 minute so the grains become lightly coated in flavour.

Step 4 – Summon the Broth

Pour in the chicken stock.

Add the thyme, parsley, remaining salt, and pepper.

Bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 5 – Return the Travellers

Return the chicken to the pan.

Cover and cook gently for 18–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender.

Step 6 – Finish the Feast

Reduce the heat.

Pour in the double cream.

Stir thoroughly until silky and combined.

Cook for 2–3 more minutes.

Step 7 – Serve

Divide between bowls.

Finish with fresh parsley and grated parmesan if desired.

Serve immediately.

🐉 Dragon’s Tip

If the rice absorbs too much liquid before becoming tender, add a splash of hot stock rather than cold water to maintain the creamy texture.

🗺️ Adventurer’s Notes

🧀 Innkeeper’s Upgrade

Add grated parmesan directly into the sauce for extra richness.

🥓 Hunter’s Feast

Stir through crispy bacon pieces before serving.

⚔️ Mercenary’s Meal

Serve with warm garlic bread for a heartier feast.

🏕️ Campfire Method

Prepare in a cast-iron pot over a steady fire, stirring regularly to prevent sticking.

💰 Quartermaster’s Budget Option

Use boneless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts for a cheaper and more flavourful version.

📜 Lore of the Hoard

Frosthall Keep stands as the last refuge before the great northern wilderness. Its kitchens are famed for creating simple meals capable of warming even the coldest traveller. During the Long Winter, when snow blocked the mountain passes for weeks at a time, cooks relied on rice, chicken, and preserved herbs to feed the keep’s defenders. Frosthall Creamy Chicken & Rice remains a beloved recipe throughout the White Dragon territories and is often the first meal offered to weary visitors seeking shelter from the cold. ⚪🐉
