Lemon Chicken & Broccoli Rice
One pot meals are definitely my go-to for dinner in our house. They are delicious, easy to prepare and require minimal clean up. This Lemon Chicken & Broccoli Rice that I recently created, definitely fulfills all of those requirements!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Salt & pepper
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2/3 cups prepared lemonade
- 1 1/3 cup chicken broth
- 1 1/4 cup long grain white rice uncooked
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- Juice from half of a medium sized lemon
- 1-12 oz package Green Giant Steamer Broccoli Florets cooked and roughly chopped
- 4 green onions sliced
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Slice chicken into 1 inch cubes and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add to olive oil and cook for a couple of minutes, just until browned and NOT cooked through.
- Add garlic and stir for about 30 seconds. Garlic burns very quickly so take care with this step.
- Push chicken aside and add uncooked rice to the pan. Saute (stir and cook) for a couple of minute until rice begins to brown. Careful not to let it burn.
- Stir in chicken broth, lemonade, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add cooked broccoli and sliced green onions. Divide into bowls, and enjoy!
Notes
If you prefer your rice a little more moist, reduce the amount of rice by 1/8 cup.
