Savor a bright and refreshing rice pilaf infused with fresh herbs and zesty lemon, paired with tender, grilled chicken breast. This dish features aromatic basmati rice, a colorful medley of peas and carrots, and a hint of savory broth, making it a perfectly balanced meal for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Basmati Rice
1/2 cup Green Peas
1 medium Carrot
1 small Onion
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and juices run clear, then let it rest before slicing.
While the chicken cooks, heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped small onion and sauté until translucent.
Add diced carrot to the onions and continue to sauté for another 3 minutes.
Stir in the cooked basmati rice, green peas, and low-sodium chicken broth. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, letting the flavors meld and the broth reduce slightly.
Mix in the fresh parsley and lemon zest, adjusting salt and pepper to taste.
Plate the rice pilaf and top with sliced grilled chicken breast. Serve warm and enjoy.
