Pan-Seared Lemon Herb Chicken with Savory Rice Pilaf
A bright and flavorful dish featuring juicy pan-seared chicken breast infused with lemon and fresh herbs, served alongside a savory rice pilaf accented with a touch of peas and a drizzle of olive oil.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (142g)
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice (92g)
1.5 tsp Olive Oil (7.5g)
1/4 cup Frozen Green Peas (34g)
1/2 Lemon (juice, 30g)
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley (8g)
1 clove Garlic (3g)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, in a separate saucepan, gently warm the cooked brown rice along with the frozen peas. Stir occasionally to combine flavors.
Mince the garlic and finely chop the fresh parsley. In the last minute of cooking the chicken, add the garlic to the pan to infuse the olive oil with its aroma.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the chicken and rice just before serving, then sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Plate the chicken alongside a serving of the savory rice pilaf, and enjoy your balanced meal.
