04 - 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

12 - 710 ml chicken broth

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Season chicken tenders with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sauté until browned and just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
02 - In the same skillet, add butter, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and 0.5 teaspoon salt. Sauté garlic for 2 minutes over medium heat until fragrant.
03 - Increase heat to medium-high, add white wine, and stir for approximately 5 minutes until slightly reduced. Remove 3 tablespoons of the sauce for serving and set aside.
04 - Add uncooked rice to the skillet with remaining sauce, stirring to coat evenly. Pour in chicken broth and add remaining salt. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until rice is tender.
05 - Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the cooked rice, then arrange the chicken tenders on top. Cover, remove from heat, and let stand for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
06 - Drizzle the reserved sauce over the chicken tenders and garnish with parsley before serving.
