Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups chicken breast, diced
  • 1 cup rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 lemon, juiced and zested
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the skillet: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Brown the chicken: Add the diced chicken, seasoning with salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook until browned and cooked through.
  3. Set aside the chicken: Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  4. Sauté the garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  5. Cook the rice: Stir in the rice, lemon juice, lemon zest, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
  6. Simmer smoothly: Reduce heat and cover, simmering for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
  7. Combine the chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix well until everything is well combined.
  8. Garnish and serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Consider marinating the chicken prior for extra flavor. Use long-grain rice for texture and adjust seasoning to personal taste.
