Enjoy succulent pan-seared lemon herb chicken served atop a bed of fluffy rice pilaf, accented by bright citrus and fresh parsley. This dish brings a balance of savory and zesty flavors with a light, clean finish, perfect for a nourishing meal at any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (zest and juice)
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1/2 cup cooked White Rice
1/4 cup diced Onion
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle half of the lemon juice and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the chicken, allowing it to marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once shimmering, add the chicken and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the rice pilaf. In a small saucepan, add the diced onion with a splash of olive oil and sauté until translucent.
Add the cooked white rice and low-sodium chicken broth to the onions. Stir in a little lemon zest and a few drops of leftover lemon juice from the marination, then heat through on low heat until the flavors meld, about 3-4 minutes.
Plate the rice pilaf as a base and top with the pan-seared chicken. Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve immediately.
