5 oz chicken breast

0.25 cup basmati rice

0.5 cup chicken bone broth

0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

0.25 cup yellow onion

1 clove garlic

0.25 cup frozen peas

1 tbsp fresh parsley

1 tsp lemon zest

PREPARATION

• 1

  Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season evenly with sea salt and black pepper.

• 2

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.

• 3

  Add the chicken to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on all sides, then remove chicken and set aside.

• 4

  In the same skillet, add the finely diced yellow onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

• 5

  Add the dry basmati rice to the pan and toast for 1 minute, stirring constantly to coat the grains in the remaining oil.

• 6

  Pour in the chicken bone broth and bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes.

• 7

  Once the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, stir in the cooked chicken, frozen peas, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

  Cover for 2 minutes to allow the peas to steam through, then fluff with a fork and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
