Lemon Garlic Rice Recipes

SLOW COOKER LEMON-GARLIC CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Turn a slow cooker to High. Combine chicken broth, lemon juice, garlic, garlic powder, and cayenne in the bottom of the cooker until mixture heats through, about 5 minutes.
• In the meantime, heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of chicken thighs with salt and pepper and place in the hot skillet. Cook, turning occasionally, until crisp on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes total. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
• Turn slow cooker to Low and add rice, carrots, and chicken. Cover and cook until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 4 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

LEMON RICE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring water, broth, lemon juice and butter to a boil. Stir in rice, basil and lemon zest. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Before serving, sprinkle with lemon-pepper.

LEMON AND GARLIC RICE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat.
• Add the garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute.
• Add the lemon juice and cook for a further minute.
• Add the rice to the pan and stir to coat the rice with the liquid mixture, being careful not to burn the rice.
• Add the chicken stock (or crumble in the stock cubes and add boiling water), stir and cover to cook, turning down the heat.
• Check on the rice while cooking to ensure it does not run out of liquid and boil dry.
• After 20 minutes, remove the lid and stir. The rice should still have a little too much liquid at this stage so cook uncovered until the rice is done and the liquid is all absorbed.
• Mix in the chopped fresh parsley and serve hot!

LEMON BASMATI RICE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat. Cook the rice, ginger, and lemon zest together in the hot oil for about 1 minute; add the lemon juice and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil; cover the pot and allow the mixture to simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
