Cooking Instructions

1

Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2

Cook the Rice

In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

3

Grill the Chicken

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

4

Prepare the Vegetables

While the chicken is grilling, steam or sauté the seasonal vegetables until tender but still crisp.

5

Serve

Slice the grilled chicken and serve over a bed of rice. Add the seasonal vegetables on the side and garnish with fresh parsley and an extra twist of lemon.
