4 cloves Garlic

1 teaspoon Cumin

1 teaspoon Watkins paprika

1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons ReaLemon lemon juice

Method

Main Preparation

Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Whisk together until well combined. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Cook the Chicken

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Rice Preparation

Cook the Rice

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of basmati rice and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.

Add Peas

Once the rice is cooked, stir in the frozen peas and cover the saucepan again. Let it sit for an additional 5 minutes to heat the peas.

Garnishing and Serving

Plate the Dish

Slice the grilled chicken into strips. On each plate, serve a portion of rice topped with the peas. Arrange the sliced chicken on top of the rice.

Add Garnish

Garnish each plate with a wedge of lemon and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy!
