CHICKEN AND RICE WITH LEMON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Put the 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides to taste and dredge in the flour, shaking off the excess. Add to the hot oil and sear for about 5 minutes per side or until a nice brown crust forms on each side.
• Right after adding the chicken to the oil, add the rice to the boiling water, put a lid on the saucepan and turn off the heat, leaving the pan on the burner. Leave the rice alone to absorb the water while everything else comes together.
• While the chicken is searing, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, dijon mustard and olive oil to form the vinaigrette. Add the parsley, crushing it between your fingers as you add it. Set aside the vinaigrette.
• When the chicken has been seared on both sides and is mostly cooked through, deglaze the pan with the club soda. Reduce the heat and add the butter and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes or until the liquid is syrupy and the chicken is fully cooked through.
• To serve, equally divide the rice between four plates. Place one chicken breast over the rice along with some of the pan sauce and a big ladle full of the lemon vinaigrette over the chicken.

ONE-PAN CHICKEN AND RICE WITH PRESERVED LEMON

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.

EASY LEMON CHICKEN WITH RICE

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.
