Marinate the Chicken
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Cooking Rice and Chicken
- 3
Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the long-grain white rice and lemon zest. Stir, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the broth is absorbed.

Cook the Chicken
While the rice is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the marinade) and add the chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
