INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Rosemary & Thyme)
0.33 cup Dry Long Grain White Rice
0.5 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
0.25 medium Onion
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken during the last minute of cooking to infuse a bright, citrus flavor.
Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and garlic. In a small saucepan, heat a splash of olive oil, then sauté the onion and garlic until softened.
Add the dry rice to the saucepan, stirring briefly, then pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Plate the chicken breast alongside a generous serving of the rice pilaf, and garnish with an extra drizzle of lemon juice or fresh herbs if desired.
