INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

0.25 cup basmati rice

0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

0.25 cup green peas

0.25 cup yellow onion

1 clove garlic

0.5 cup chicken bone broth

1 tbsp lemon juice

0.5 tsp lemon zest

1 tbsp fresh parsley

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt and black pepper.

• 2

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through, then remove it from the pan and set it aside to rest.

• 3

  In the same skillet, add the diced yellow onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 3 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

• 4

  Add the dry basmati rice to the skillet, stirring constantly for one minute to lightly toast the grains and allow them to absorb the flavors from the pan.

• 5

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

• 6

  Remove the lid and stir in the green peas, lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh parsley, then nestle the cooked chicken back into the rice to warm through for 2 minutes before serving.
