Zesty Lemon Herb Rice Pilaf
Pan-seared chicken breast and fluffy basmati rice simmered in a zesty lemon broth with fragrant herbs and sweet peas for a bright, refreshing finish.
INGREDIENTS
0.33 cup dry basmati rice
5 oz chicken breast
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup frozen peas
2 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 clove garlic
2 tbsp yellow onion
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear chicken until golden and cooked through, then remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent.
Add the dry basmati rice to the skillet, stirring for one minute to lightly toast the grains.
Pour in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest, bringing the mixture to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
Stir in the frozen peas and the cooked chicken, letting them warm through for two minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
