Golden seared chicken and fluffy rice tossed with bright lemon and fresh herbs in one skillet — a clean, comforting weeknight plate.
Ingredients
- 12.5 oz boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
- 1.75 cups cooked white rice
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.5 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 tsp fine salt
Instructions
- Season the cubed chicken with the salt. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high and sear the chicken 5 minutes, stirring once, until golden and cooked through, then push to one side.
- Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook 3 minutes until soft and translucent, then stir in the minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the cooked white rice and toss everything together for 2 minutes until the rice is heated through and coated in the pan juices.
- Turn off the heat, stir in the lemon juice and most of the parsley, and finish with the remaining parsley on top.
