Provided by Bill Hilbrich

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 boneless skinless chicken breast, thawed,
1/3 cup raw rice, uncooked (NOT instant)
2/3 cup water or 2/3 cup vermouth
1/4 cup olive oil
1/8 cup lemon juice or 1/8 cup lime juice
1/4 cup onion, diced
1/4 cup red bell pepper

Steps:

  • In the afternoon, or at least one hour before making the dish, combine the olive oil,juice. Place chicken breast in a plastic bag and add olive oil juice mixture then refrigerate for at least an hour.
  • Make sure that the marinade coats the meat. The rest of this process should only take 20 minutes if the steps are followed in order.
  • Remove the chicken and place on a hot grill ( total cooking time will be 20 minutes.) and immediately proceed to the next step.
  • Add the water to the rice and place in a covered pan over a stove burner with a very low flame.( total heating time will be 15 minutes). After the chicken and the rice have cooked for 10 minutes; turn the chicken breast over.
  • Chop the onion and peppers and set aside. After the chicken and rice have cooked for another 5 minutes, turn off the flame under the rice, but do NOT remove the cover.
  • Heat up a small amount of butter and/or olive oil in a frying pan; heat the onion and bell peppers until soft. After the chicken has cooked for an additional 5 minutes ( 20 minutes total) remove from the heat. Remove the cover on the rice and stir in the heated onion and bell pepper.

Tips:

  • Use a well-seasoned skillet. This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking and will also impart flavor.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly throughout without burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you do, the chicken will not cook evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help to keep the juices in the chicken.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Some popular choices include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
