EASY LEMON CHICKEN WITH RICE
This chicken is so easy to make! I typically serve it with a long grain Basmati rice, and then a salad or other green vegetable. I don't know if "Lemon Chicken" is the best description, but it does call for lemon juice! I wanted to find a good chicken recipe, and I ended up tweaking until it was just perfect!

Steps:
- Season chicken breasts generously with garlic powder, parsley, pepper, and if desired (for a more lemon taste) lemon pepper. Sprinkle a light amount of salt of the chicken.
- Heat up a skillet on high heat, and add butter and olive oil. Once hot (a sprinkle of water will "sizzle" in the oil), add seasoned chicken breasts.
- Sear chicken on both sides until lightly browned, then remove the chicken from the skillet to a plate (keep burner on high the entire time).
- Add lemon juice to the hot skillet and swirl it around to loosen all the chicken juices and flavor from the pan, but DO NOT DISCARD.
- Add water quickly after lemon juice has picked up the spices. Add bouillon cubes and bring to a boil.
- Stir in corn starch that has been dissolved in 1/2 Celsius cold water.
- Wait for a reboil, and then add the chicken breasts back into the gravy mixture.
- Wait for another reboil and then cover the skillet, and turn the heat to low.
- Let chicken simmer for 15-20 minutes (I usually start rice in the rice maker at this point because our rice only takes about 15-20 minutes to cook, but you'll have to adjust based on your needs and equipment).
- Serve chicken over rice.
ONE-PAN CHICKEN AND RICE WITH PRESERVED LEMON
This skillet chicken and basmati rice dish is anything but plain and humble.

Steps:
- Rinse and drain the rice 3 to 5 times to get rid of excess starch. Set aside.
- Combine the cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, turmeric and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and sprinkle them on both sides with half of the spice mixture.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large (12-inch) pan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. When hot (but not smoking), add the chicken and sear until it forms a golden brown crust, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons oil into the same pan and place over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the rice and the remaining spice mix and stir to combine.
- Remove the flesh of the preserved lemon (discard the seeds and save the flesh for another use). Finely chop the lemon rind (peel). Add the rind to the rice followed by the olives. Stir to evenly distribute the olives. Pour the broth and 1 1/2 cups water into the pan and increase the heat to medium high. Bring to a simmer, place the chicken breasts back in the pan and cover the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes (see Cook's Note).
- You can serve the chicken as is, or shred it and add it back to the rice. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

LEMON CHICKEN OVER RICE
This is one of my kids favorites. If you slightly pound the chicken breasts prior to cutting into strips, they will cook quicker and more evenly. You could even just slice the breasts in half, long ways to be quicker. I toss the chicken, flour and seasonings in a large Ziplock and incorporate well. Add a little garlic powder if you like. Be sure to cook the chicken low and slow in the butter or the butter will burn. I think it would be great with some asparagus, artichokes, zucchini, red pepper, or steamed broccoli added; maybe even green onions, garlic, and mushrooms. Sometimes I will deglaze the pan with a little white wine if I have any. You can add a little Dijon if you like, and more lemon to taste. I'll bet it would be great over garlic mashed potatoes. I will often double the gravy part, as the kids really like it.

Tips:
- To achieve crispy chicken, ensure the chicken is coated evenly in cornstarch before frying. Double coating the chicken in cornstarch and egg mixture will result in extra crispy chicken.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice can be used, but the flavor will not be as bright and citrusy.
- If you don't have Shaoxing wine, you can substitute dry sherry or white wine.
- To save time, use pre-cooked rice. If you are using uncooked rice, cook it according to the package directions before assembling the dish.
- Serve the lemon chicken and rice with your favorite sides, such as stir-fried vegetables, steamed broccoli, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
This lemon chicken and rice recipe is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The chicken is crispy and flavorful, the sauce is tangy and sweet, and the rice is fluffy and perfectly cooked. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table that everyone will love.
