Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the uncooked rice and salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the butter and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Add Shrimp and Krab

    Add the shrimp and imitation crab meat to the garlic butter sauce. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the shrimp and krab mixture over the top. Serve over a bed of rice with your choice of steamed veggies on the side.
