Pan-Seared Lemon Herb Chicken with Fluffy Rice Pilaf
Savor the harmonious blend of zesty lemon and fresh herbs enveloping tender, pan-seared chicken breast, perfectly partnered with a light, fluffy rice pilaf. This dish offers a balanced composition of protein and carbs while bursting with bright, aromatic flavors.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1/3 tbsp Olive Oil
1 Lemon (juice and zest)
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
1 tsp Fresh Rosemary
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
PREPARATION
Prepare the rice pilaf by rinsing the brown rice thoroughly. In a small saucepan, combine the rice with the low-sodium chicken broth and enough water (if needed) to cover. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid, about 20 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, fresh thyme, rosemary, lemon zest, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast and sear on each side until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. If desired, drizzle any remaining pan juices over the chicken for extra flavor.
Slice the chicken breast and serve atop the fluffy rice pilaf. Garnish with additional lemon wedges or fresh herbs as desired.
