INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 medium Lemon (juiced and zested)
1 clove Garlic
1/4 cup chopped Yellow Onion
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season generously with salt, pepper, and a pinch of fresh thyme.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, heat a separate saucepan over medium heat. Add a small drizzle of olive oil and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent.
Add the cooked brown rice to the saucepan with onions and garlic. Stir to combine and warm the rice.
Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped fresh parsley into the rice, seasoning lightly with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a plate and slice it before serving alongside the fluffy rice pilaf.
