Pan-Seared Lemon Herb Chicken with Fluffy Rice Pilaf
Enjoy a bright and savory meal featuring tender lemon herb chicken paired with a delicate, fluffy rice pilaf. The chicken is pan-seared to lock in its juicy flavors while the rice, cooked with aromatic onion, garlic, and fresh herbs, creates a comforting and balanced dish perfect for any meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked White Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 small Onion
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and a sprinkle of fresh thyme.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and let it rest.
In the same pan, add diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the cooked white rice and drizzle with lemon juice. Toss gently to combine and heat through, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle over the rice pilaf. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Slice the chicken breast and serve it on a bed of the fluffy rice pilaf, garnished with additional parsley and a light drizzle of any remaining pan juices.
