5 oz chicken breast

0.25 cup white basmati rice

0.5 cup chicken bone broth

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp lemon zest

2 tbsp fresh parsley

1 clove garlic

0.25 cup yellow onion

0.25 tsp sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

  Finely dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic clove.

• 2

  Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with half of the sea salt and black pepper.

• 3

  Heat half of the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat; add the onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.

• 4

  Stir in the garlic and dry basmati rice, toasting the grains for 1 minute until they smell slightly nutty.

• 5

  Pour in the chicken bone broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.

• 6

  While rice cooks, heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

• 7

  Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh parsley.

• 8

  Slice the chicken breast and serve it over the warm lemon-herb rice pilaf.
