Lemon Herb Rice Pilaf with Toasted Almonds
Pan-seared chicken breast served over a fragrant lemon-infused rice pilaf, topped with crunchy toasted almonds and fresh parsley for a bright, citrusy finish.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked basmati rice
2 tsp slivered almonds
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp low sodium chicken broth
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
While the chicken cooks, place the slivered almonds in a small dry pan over medium heat, tossing frequently until they are golden and fragrant.
In a small saucepan, combine the cooked basmati rice, chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Heat the rice mixture over low heat, stirring gently until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is fluffy.
Stir the fresh chopped parsley and toasted almonds into the rice pilaf.
Slice the cooked chicken breast and serve it immediately over the warm lemon herb rice.
