INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
0.75 cup cooked White Rice
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Thyme)
1 Garlic clove
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Start by patting the chicken breast dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the juice of half a lemon, chopped fresh herbs, and minced garlic.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breast.
Sear the chicken breast for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a golden, crispy exterior forms and the inside reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
In the meantime, reheat or fluff the pre-cooked white rice according to package instructions.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and drizzle it with the lemon herb mixture. Let the flavors meld for a minute.
Plate the chicken breast with a serving of fluffy white rice on the side. Garnish with a bit more fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
