Creamy Lemon Chicken and Rice with Broccoli
🍽 Bite of the Week features Bone-in Skin-on Chicken Breast
👇🏻 Here’s a market fresh meal idea:
Ingredients:
2 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
1 cup rice (cooked)
1 cup broccoli florets, steamed
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 lemon (juice and zest)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp thyme (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley and lemon slices for garnish
Directions:
1. Sear the Chicken: Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear them skin-side down until golden brown (about 6-8 minutes). Flip and cook the other side for another 5 minutes, then remove the chicken and set aside.
2. Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in chicken broth and heavy cream, then add lemon juice, zest, and thyme. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
3. Finish Cooking the Chicken: Return the chicken to the skillet and cook in the sauce for 10-15 minutes until fully cooked, spooning the sauce over the chicken occasionally.
4. Serve: Plate the chicken over a bed of cooked rice, with steamed broccoli on the side. Drizzle the creamy lemon sauce over the chicken and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices.
