INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil (for chicken)
1 tbsp Olive Oil (for rice pilaf)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Fresh Thyme, chopped
1 tsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1/4 cup diced Onion
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt, pepper, fresh thyme, and parsley. Drizzle with lemon juice.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear each side for about 4-5 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until softened, then add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
Stir in the cooked brown rice and pour in the low-sodium chicken broth. Gently heat, allowing the rice to absorb the broth and flavors for about 3-4 minutes.
Plate the fluffy rice pilaf and top with the pan-seared chicken. Finish with an extra drizzle of lemon juice and a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.
