Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs chicken breast
- 2 tsp salt divided
- 1 tsp pepper
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning divided
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice
- 2 ½ cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts on both sides with 1 tsp salt, pepper, and 1 tsp of the Italian seasoning. To a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat, add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter is melted and the oil is hot, add in the chicken and sear on each side for about 2 to 3 minutes. The chicken will not completely cook through at this point. Remove from a pan and set aside.
- In the same pan that the chicken was cooked in, add the rice, broth, lemon juice, and remaining seasonings. Stir well and add back in the seared chicken cover with a lid and let simmer for about 18-22 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
