Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce.
- To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water, half the Zesty Garlic Blend and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- To the boiling water, stir in rice and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 8-9 min. Add peas, cover and cook for 5-6 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, peel, then cut onions into 1/8-inch slices.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Season with remaining Zesty Garlic Blend, salt and pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
- When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan; cook chicken in 2 batches if needed.) Cook for 4-5 min, turning occasionally, until golden.
- Transfer chicken to an unlined baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven for 5-6 min, until cooked through.**
- Carefully wipe the pan clean.
- While chicken roasts, in the same pan from step 3, heat 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter over medium.
- When the butter has melted, add onions and garlic. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until softened.
- Add 1 tsp (2 tsp) sugar, half the lemon juice and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water. Season with salt. Cook uncovered for 4-6 min, stirring occasionally, until dark golden.
- Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle Cream Sauce Spice Blend over top and cook for 1 min, stirring frequently, until coated and fragrant.
- To the pan with caramelized onions, add cream cheese, pesto and 3/4 cup (1 1/4 cups) water. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens slightly.
- Add chicken and spinach. Stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally, until chicken is coated and spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
- To the rice, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, lemon zest and remaining lemon juice. Fluff rice with a fork.
- Divide rice, chicken and sauce between bowls.
- Squeeze a lemon wedge over top.
If you've opted to get chicken thighs, prep and cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to prep and cook the chicken breasts.
