Creamy Lemon Herb Chicken and Rice
Pan-seared chicken breast simmered in a velvety lemon-garlic herb sauce and served over fluffy jasmine rice with tender asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked jasmine rice
1 tsp olive oil
0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 cup asparagus spears
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp dried thyme
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp low-sodium chicken broth
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
Heat the olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate to rest. Reduce the heat to medium.
Add the minced garlic and trimmed asparagus spears to the same skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the asparagus is bright green and tender-crisp.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Turn the heat to low and whisk in the Greek yogurt until a smooth, creamy sauce forms. Do not let the sauce boil or the yogurt may curdle.
Slice the rested chicken into strips. Place the warm jasmine rice in a bowl, top with the chicken and asparagus, and drizzle the creamy lemon herb sauce over the entire dish.
