Zesty Lemon Herb Rice Pilaf
Sautéed chicken and basmati rice simmered in a zesty lemon-herb broth for a meal that is bright and fragrant.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Chicken breast
0.25 cup Basmati rice
0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup Frozen green peas
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes until golden brown on all sides.
Stir in the minced garlic and dry basmati rice, toasting the grains for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits.
Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and stir in the frozen peas, lemon zest, and fresh parsley.
Cover and let sit for 2 minutes to allow the peas to warm through before fluffing with a fork and serving.
