Fresh Herb and Lemon Basmati Rice Pilaf with Chicken
Enjoy a vibrant pilaf that marries fluffy basmati rice with zesty lemon, fresh herbs, and tender, sautéed chicken breast. This dish is light yet satisfying, offering a burst of freshness in every bite, perfect for lunch or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/3 cup uncooked Basmati Rice
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1/4 cup chopped Fresh Mixed Herbs
2 tablespoons chopped Red Onion
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chicken until fully cooked and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped red onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they become fragrant and slightly translucent.
Add the rice to the skillet and toast for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Pour in 2 cups of water (or low-sodium chicken broth for extra flavor) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and let it simmer until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
While the rice cooks, slice or shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Once the rice is done, stir in the lemon juice, fresh mixed herbs, and the cooked chicken.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed before serving.
