Lemon Herb Rice Pilaf with Toasted Almonds
Pan-seared chicken breast served over a fragrant lemon-herb rice pilaf, topped with crunchy toasted almonds for a bright and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
0.25 cup Dry basmati rice
0.5 cup Chicken bone broth
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.5 oz Sliced almonds
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
2 tbsp Fresh parsley
1 tbsp Fresh dill
2 tbsp Yellow onion
1 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Place the sliced almonds in a small dry skillet over medium heat, tossing frequently until they are golden and smell toasted, then set aside.
In a small pot, heat half of the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the finely diced onion and minced garlic until translucent and aromatic.
Stir in the dry basmati rice and cook for 1 minute to lightly toast the grains before pouring in the chicken bone broth.
Bring the broth to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is fully absorbed and the rice is tender.
While the rice cooks, season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper, then sear in a pan with the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat until cooked through.
Once the rice is done, remove from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped parsley, and chopped dill.
Slice the chicken breast and serve it over the fluffy herb rice, finishing the dish with a generous sprinkle of the toasted almonds.
