PREPARATION

  • 1

    Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and slightly charred. Once done, let it rest and slice it into strips.

  • 2

    Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  • 3

    In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent and aromatic, about 2-3 minutes.

  • 4

    Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan and toast it lightly for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.

  • 5

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.

  • 6

    Once the rice is cooked, stir in the lemon juice and freshly chopped herbs. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

  • 7

    Plate the rice pilaf and top with the sliced grilled chicken. Garnish with a few extra herbs if desired, and serve warm.
