Cooking Steps
- Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- While the pan heats, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and half the Lemon-Pepper Seasoning.
- When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Cook for 1-2 min per side, until golden. (NOTE: Chicken will finish cooking in step 4.)
- Transfer chicken to a plate.
- Carefully wipe the pan clean.
- Heat the same pan over medium.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pan until melted.
- Add onions. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.
- Add garlic and remaining Lemon-Pepper Seasoning. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until fragrant.
- Stir in rice, chicken stock powder, half the lemon juice, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt and 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water. Bring to a boil over high.
- Arrange chicken and any juices from the plate over top.
- Reduce to medium-low. Cover and cook for 15-18 min, until rice is tender, liquid is absorbed and chicken is cooked.** (TIP: Rice will abdsorb extra broth while it rests.)
- Transfer cooked chicken to a clean cutting board.
- Sprinkle spinach over rice. Remove from heat, cover, then set aside for 3-5 min.
- Meanwhile, cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
- In a small bowl, add tomatoes, half the feta, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) lemon zest, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) oil, 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) sugar and remaining lemon juice.
- Season with pepper, then stir to combine.
- Squeeze a lemon wedge over top.
- Thinly slice chicken
- Add remaining feta to rice, then stir for 1 min until spinach is wilted.
- Divide rice between plates, then top with chicken.
- Spoon tomato-feta salsa over chicken.
If you've opted to get chicken thighs, cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook chicken breasts.
