Tender Lemon Herb Chicken and Rice
Pan-seared chicken breast infused with zesty lemon and aromatic herbs served over fluffy, savory rice and tender steamed asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.75 cup cooked white basmati rice
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp dried oregano
1 clove garlic
1 cup asparagus spears
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 8 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
During the final 2 minutes of cooking, add the minced garlic and lemon zest to the pan, tossing gently to coat the chicken without burning the garlic.
While the chicken is searing, steam the asparagus spears for 4 to 5 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
In a small mixing bowl, fluff the warm cooked rice and stir in the fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley.
Slice the chicken into strips and serve it over the herb-flecked rice with the steamed asparagus on the side.
