EASY LEMON CHICKEN WITH RICE



Easy Lemon Chicken With Rice image

This chicken is so easy to make! I typically serve it with a long grain Basmati rice, and then a salad or other green vegetable. I don't know if "Lemon Chicken" is the best description, but it does call for lemon juice! I wanted to find a good chicken recipe, and I ended up tweaking until it was just perfect!

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast (split and halved)
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
parsley
garlic powder
lemon pepper (optional)
pepper
salt
1/4-1/2 cup lemon juice (depends on how "lemony" you want it)
5 -6 chicken bouillon cubes
3 1/2-4 cups water
2 tablespoons cornstarch, dissolved in
1/2 cup cold water

Steps:

  • Season chicken breasts generously with garlic powder, parsley, pepper, and if desired (for a more lemon taste) lemon pepper. Sprinkle a light amount of salt of the chicken.
  • Heat up a skillet on high heat, and add butter and olive oil. Once hot (a sprinkle of water will "sizzle" in the oil), add seasoned chicken breasts.
  • Sear chicken on both sides until lightly browned, then remove the chicken from the skillet to a plate (keep burner on high the entire time).
  • Add lemon juice to the hot skillet and swirl it around to loosen all the chicken juices and flavor from the pan, but DO NOT DISCARD.
  • Add water quickly after lemon juice has picked up the spices. Add bouillon cubes and bring to a boil.
  • Stir in corn starch that has been dissolved in 1/2 Celsius cold water.
  • Wait for a reboil, and then add the chicken breasts back into the gravy mixture.
  • Wait for another reboil and then cover the skillet, and turn the heat to low.
  • Let chicken simmer for 15-20 minutes (I usually start rice in the rice maker at this point because our rice only takes about 15-20 minutes to cook, but you'll have to adjust based on your needs and equipment).
  • Serve chicken over rice.
