Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Rice

    In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the yellow rice and a tablespoon of butter. Stir to combine, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once the chicken is cooked and the rice is ready, slice the chicken and serve it over the yellow rice. Enjoy your Combo Plate!
