Zesty Lemon Herb Rice Pilaf
Sautéed chicken breast and aromatic basmati rice simmered in a bright lemon-herb broth for a refreshing, citrusy finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.25 cup basmati rice
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
1 clove garlic
2 tbsp yellow onion
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown on all sides.
Add the yellow onion and garlic to the skillet, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the basmati rice, toasting the grains for 1 minute to enhance the nutty flavor.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh parsley.
Fluff the rice with a fork and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
