Zesty Lemon Herb Rice Pilaf with Seared Chicken
Pan-seared chicken breast served over a fragrant lemon-herb rice pilaf with sweet peas and fresh parsley for a bright and zesty finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked jasmine rice
0.5 cup frozen peas
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 clove garlic
0.25 cup yellow onion
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes.
In the same skillet, add the finely diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 2 to 3 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the cooked jasmine rice and frozen peas, tossing frequently until the peas are bright green and the rice is heated through.
Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped fresh parsley, ensuring the rice is well coated.
Slice the rested chicken breast into strips and serve immediately over the zesty rice pilaf.
