INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
1 Tbsp Fresh Thyme
Salt & Pepper, to taste
1/2 cup Long Grain White Rice (cooked)
1/4 cup diced Onion
1 clove Garlic
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
PREPARATION
Begin by marinating the chicken breast: drizzle with olive oil, squeeze the juice of half a lemon over it, sprinkle fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Allow to rest for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the rice pilaf. In a small saucepan, heat a small drizzle of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant.
Add the 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth and the 1/2 cup pre-cooked long grain white rice to the saucepan. Stir gently and let it simmer on low heat until the flavors meld, about 5 minutes. Cover and let stand off heat for a few minutes to achieve a fluffy texture.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and lightly charred on the outside.
Slice the chicken and serve it on a bed of the warm, fluffy rice pilaf. Garnish with an extra squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of fresh thyme if desired.
