Enjoy a light yet satisfying dish featuring tender, grilled chicken breast nestled atop a fragrant basmati rice pilaf infused with fresh herbs and a zesty lemon kick. This dish is a delightful medley of textures and aromatic flavors that make every bite refreshing and heartening.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Basmati Rice
1 cup Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1 medium Small Onion
1 Garlic Clove
2 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1/4 cup Fresh Parsley, chopped
1/4 cup Fresh Mint, chopped
1/2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium heat until fully cooked, then let it rest and slice into strips.
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water. In a saucepan, heat the half tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the chopped small onion and garlic until softened.
Add the rice to the saucepan and toast lightly for about a minute before pouring in the low sodium chicken broth.
Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid, approximately 15-20 minutes.
Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and stir in the fresh lemon juice, chopped parsley, and mint.
Plate the rice pilaf and top with the sliced grilled chicken. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, and serve warm.
