Lemon Chicken & Rice

STEP 1: MARINADE

Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, parsley, red pepper flakes, and olive oil. Add the chicken and toss in the marinade. Then, marinate in the fridge for 2-4 hours, or at least 30 minutes.

STEP 2: SEAR

Once finished sear the chicken, skin-side down, in a large skillet until it gets golden brown and crispy. Then set aside.

STEP 3: RICE

Sautee the onion and garlic. Then add in the chicken stock, marinade, salt, pepper, and white rice. Bring to a simmer, then place the chicken on top of the rice.

STEP 4: BAKE

Bake in the oven at 350°F covered for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and return to the oven for about 15 more minutes until the chicken is cooked through. The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 170°F.

STEP 5: SERVE

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the whole dish and top with fresh chopped parsley.
