Lemon Herb Chicken with Fluffy Rice Pilaf
Savor tender, lemon-infused chicken paired with a gently seasoned, fluffy rice pilaf accented by fresh herbs and a hint of garlic. This well-balanced dish delivers a burst of citrus and aromatic herbs in every bite, perfect for a light yet satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Long Grain White Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Thyme)
Pinch of Salt & Pepper
PREPARATION
Begin by preparing the chicken: In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper, minced garlic, and chopped fresh herbs. Place the chicken breast in the marinade, ensuring it is evenly coated, and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the rice pilaf. In a small saucepan, heat half the olive oil over medium heat. Add a small amount of minced garlic (or a repeat of the garlic if desired) and lightly sauté until fragrant.
Add the cooked white rice to the saucepan and stir to combine with the garlic and olive oil. Allow the rice to warm through, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper, stirring gently to fluff the rice.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining olive oil. Place the marinated chicken breast in the skillet. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Once both components are ready, plate the fluffy rice pilaf as a base and place the lemon herb chicken on top. Garnish with any remaining fresh herbs and an extra squeeze of lemon if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the balanced burst of citrusy, herby flavors paired with tender chicken and perfectly fluffy rice.
