Fresh Herb and Lemon Basmati Rice Pilaf
Enjoy a vibrant and aromatic dish featuring tender grilled chicken paired with fluffy basmati rice tossed in fresh lemon juice, zest, and a medley of chopped herbs. This pilaf offers a bright, satisfying meal that harmonizes the zesty tang of lemon with the earthy flavors of rosemary and parsley, all elevated by a hint of olive oil.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Basmati Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup chopped Red Onion
1 medium Lemon (zest and juice)
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium heat until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once done, let it rest before slicing into strips.
In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the cooked basmati rice, ensuring it gets lightly coated with the olive oil and mixes with the onions.
Add the lemon zest and freshly squeezed lemon juice to the rice, stirring gently to combine.
Fold in the chopped parsley and cilantro, then season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
Plate the rice pilaf and top with the sliced grilled chicken. Serve warm and enjoy the fresh, zesty flavors.
