One pot lemony chicken & rice

Step 1

Zest (optional) and juice the lemons. Set aside.

Step 2

If chicken breasts are thick, slice them in half lengthwise to make them thinner.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, add the chicken, mustard, lemon zest (if using), italian seasoning, garlic powder and half of the lemon juice (reserving the rest for later). Coat chicken.

Step 4

Heat oil in the bottom of a large, thick pot over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the chicken and cook for 5-8 minutes on each side until chicken is browned, but not fully cooked. Remove chicken from pot and set aside.

Step 6

Add rice, broth, and remaining lemon juice to the pot and bring to a boil.

Step 7

Reduce to a simmer and place the chicken breasts on top of the rice. Cover and cook for 20 minutes until rice is tender and chicken is fully cooked. Serve!
