Chicken Marinade

Rice

Fries

Method

Marinating Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking Rice

  1. 3

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 4

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil. Add the rinsed rice, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 18-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed and rice is tender.

Preparing Fries

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips for fries.

  2. 6

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the potato strips in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt.

Cooking Chicken

  1. 7

    Sauté the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.

  2. 8

    Prepare Garlic Sauce

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet. Add the remaining marinade into the skillet and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

  3. 9

    Combine

    Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it with the garlic sauce for an additional minute before serving.
