Zesty Greek Chicken and Rice Skillet
Prepare a vibrant and satisfying weeknight meal with this Zesty Greek Chicken and Rice Skillet. Succulent chicken and perfectly cooked rice come together in one pan, brightened by fresh lemon, fragrant herbs, and rich chicken broth for a truly delightful dinner.
Let's cook.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium. Add the chopped yellow onion to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Stir in the uncooked long-grain white rice, chicken broth, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Return the browned chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the rice mixture. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice. Let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
