Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup diced carrot
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  • While the chicken is marinating, prepare the rice pilaf. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery, and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the basmati rice to the saucepan and stir to coat in the oil. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the rice is slightly toasted.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  • While the rice is cooking, grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  • Remove the chicken from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Fluff the cooked rice pilaf with a fork, then stir in the frozen peas and chopped parsley. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes, or until the peas are heated through.
  • Serve the grilled chicken with a generous scoop of rice pilaf.
