Lemon Herb Pan-Seared Chicken with Fluffy Rice Pilaf
Enjoy a zesty and aromatic plate featuring perfectly pan-seared chicken infused with fresh lemon and herbs, served alongside a light and fluffy brown rice pilaf gently accented with garlic and fresh herbs. This dish is as satisfying on a chilly evening as it is refreshing on a sunny day.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Cooked Brown Rice
1 medium Lemon
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Thyme & Parsley)
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Start by squeezing the juice from the lemon and finely chopping the garlic and fresh herbs.
Season the 6 oz chicken breast with salt, pepper, and half of the lemon juice. Let it marinate briefly while you prepare the rice pilaf.
In a skillet, heat 1 tsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove from pan and let rest.
In the same pan, add the chopped garlic and a bit more of the fresh herbs, and sauté for about a minute to release their aroma.
Gently mix the cooked brown rice with the sautéed garlic and herbs. Add the remaining lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
Plate the garlic-herb rice pilaf and top it with the sliced pan-seared chicken. Optionally, drizzle extra pan juices over the top for added flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, zesty flavors of this balanced meal.
