INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1/4 cup Chicken Broth (low sodium)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
1/4 cup chopped Onion
1/4 cup diced Red Bell Pepper
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley and Thyme)
PREPARATION
Begin by brining the 6 oz chicken breast in a mixture of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and minced garlic for 15 minutes to infuse flavor.
Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Season lightly with freshly ground black pepper and chopped herbs.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add 1 tsp of olive oil and sauté the chopped onion and diced red bell pepper until softened, about 3 minutes.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, ensuring it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Meanwhile, gently reheat the 1/2 cup cooked brown rice in a small saucepan with 1/4 cup of low-sodium chicken broth to create a fluffy, aromatic pilaf, stirring in a bit of the remaining fresh herbs and lemon juice.
Plate the chicken alongside a serving of the rice pilaf, drizzle any pan juices over the top, and garnish with extra herbs if desired. Enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal!
