Garlic Chicken with Lemon Herb Rice
Pan-seared chicken breast infused with aromatic garlic served over zesty lemon-herb rice for a bright and savory finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp minced garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
0.75 cup cooked white basmati rice
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is golden brown.
In the final minute of cooking, add the minced garlic to the pan, tossing it in the oil around the chicken until fragrant but not burnt.
While the chicken rests for 3 minutes, combine the warm cooked rice with lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped fresh parsley in a small bowl.
Slice the chicken into strips and serve immediately over the bed of fragrant lemon-herb rice.
