Lemon Pepper Chicken And Rice Recipes

BAKED LEMON-PEPPER CHICKEN THIGHS AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with lemon-pepper seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, rubbing the seasoning into both sides of the chicken. Cook chicken in the hot oil until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
• Melt butter in the the same pot and stir into the drippings. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Turn off burner.
• Pour in chicken stock and water, scraping the bottom of the Dutch oven with a wooden or plastic spoon to loosen any browned bits. Stir in rice, lemon juice, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and pepper. Place the chicken on top of the rice and cover with the lid.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and remove the chicken to a plate using tongs. Stir rice from bottom to top then place the chicken back on top of the rice. Cook, uncovered, until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is soft, about 15 minutes.

ONE-POT LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN & RICE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Combine lemon pepper, paprika, and 2 cloves of minced garlic in a small bowl.
• In a large oven-proof pot, heat olive oil on medium heat. Season both sides of the chicken and place in the pot skin side down. Cook for three minutes, turn the heat up to medium high and cook for an additional two minutes (or until browned). Turn the chicken over and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside. (Don't worry! It will finish cooking when you put it in the oven.)
• With a paper towel, carefully wipe out excess fat, leaving the seasoning.
• Preheat your oven to 350˚F (175˚C).
• On medium high, melt two Tbsp. of butter in the pot and add the diced onions and the rest of the minced garlic. Cook until onions are translucent (1-2 minutes).
• Add the rice and stir until it becomes translucent (1-2 minutes).
• Pour in the white wine and let it cook until most of the wine has evaporated (about two minutes).
• Add the chicken broth, one cup of milk, and a dash of pepper and stir. Bring it to a simmer.
• Place the chicken back into the pot. Cover with a lid or foil and bake for 30 minutes (remove lid after 20 minutes).
• Remove the chicken from the pot and broil on high for 2-3 minutes or until the skin has nicely browned.
• Add the other two Tbsp. butter, parmesan, ½ cup (118 ml) of milk and parsley to the rice. Stir until well combined. Return the chicken on top of the rice.

LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Prepare Rice according to package directions, except substituting 2 cups water and 1/4 cup lemon juice for the 2 and 1/4 cups water listed on each package. I make two boxes of rice when I make this reciepe, so i use 4 cups of water and 1/2 cup of lemon juice.
• Place 6 chicken breasts in 9x13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle lemon pepper, black pepper, garlic salt and greek seasoning over chicken breasts. Cut butter into tablespoon-sized slices and place around the baking dish. Place one pat of butter on each chicken breast. Save 2T butter for the rice. Pour remaining two cups lemon juice over chicken breasts. Cover with aluminum foil. Place in oven. Bake for 45 minutes or until done, turning breasts over once halfway thru cooking.
• Slice chicken breasts into strips. Place on plate on a bed of rice and serve.
• I have reserved a cup of the lemon and butter broth to make a sauce with. This also seems to go over well. Heat the cup (or two) of liquid in a saucepan on the stove. Mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1/4 cup water together until smooth. Pour water mixture into bubbling lemon mixture while stirring with a whisk. Mix until sauce thickens. Will have a gravy-like consistancy. Top chicken and rice with a couple teaspoons of sauce for a "fancy" treat.
