Zesty Lemon Herb Rice Pilaf
Tender chicken breast sautéed with aromatic herbs and simmered in a bright, citrusy lemon rice pilaf for a refreshing and zesty finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.25 cup basmati rice
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup yellow onion
1 clove garlic
0.5 cup chicken bone broth
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
0.25 cup frozen peas
1 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with half of the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the chicken until golden and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside; add the diced yellow onion to the same skillet, cooking until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and dry basmati rice, toasting the grains for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken bone broth and lemon juice, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 12-15 minutes until the liquid is fully absorbed.
Gently fold in the frozen peas, lemon zest, fresh parsley, and the cooked chicken pieces.
Cover for 2 minutes to allow the peas to steam through, then season with the remaining salt and pepper before serving.
