Zesty Lemon Herb Rice Pilaf
Pan-seared chicken breast and aromatic rice pilaf infused with zesty lemon and fresh herbs for a bright, citrusy finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked basmati rice
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup sweet peas
2 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 clove garlic
2 tbsp yellow onion
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 cup low-sodium chicken broth
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with half of the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 3 minutes before dicing into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, sauté the finely minced onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the cooked rice, frozen peas, and chicken broth, simmering for 3 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the peas are tender.
Fold in the diced chicken, lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped fresh parsley.
Season the pilaf with the remaining salt and pepper before serving warm.
