Season chicken tenderloins with salt, pepper, and paprika.
In a large cast iron skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add chicken tenderloins and cook to sear both sides of chicken. Approximately 5 minutes each side.
Remove chicken from skillet and set aside on a plate tented with foil.
Step 2
Melt the butter in the skillet and add onions. Sauté onions until soft and translucent.
Add garlic and sea salt and continue to sauté for about 1 minute.
Step 3
Deglaze the pan with pinot grigio, scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stirring frequently, allow to simmer and reduce to half.
Add the rice to reduced glaze and stir to coat rice. Allow the rice to soak some of the garlic butter glaze for about 1 minute.
Add the chicken broth and stir. Cover and simmer on low for 10 minutes.
Stir the rice and return chicken tenderloins to pan.
Cover and allow to continue to cook rice for 5 more minutes. Liquid should be completely absorbed by the rice.
Shred parmesan cheese over the top of chicken and rice and cover the pan again. Take off the heat and allow cheese to melt.
Allow the parmesan chicken and rice to cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving.
