Add the chopped chicken along with

The bay leaves are nice if you have them,

It'll still turn out delicious.
Saute, stirring occasionally, for about five minutes
or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Increase to high heat and add one cup of white wine.
Now boil down the wine, scraping the bottom of the pot

That looks perfect.
It's time to add five cups of hot low-sodium chicken broth.
Next, stir in two cups of dry jasmine rice
and top with a whole head of garlic.
Now here's the easiest garlic prep you've ever seen.
Slice off the end to expose the cloves and that's it.
Push it right into the center of your rice.
Bring that to a rolling boil,
reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer
for 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked.
On to the finishing touches.
Remove the garlic and quickly stir in
two tablespoons of butter.
Finally, stir in the Parmesan and parsley.
Yum.
Woo!
I seriously love my job. (laughs)
