Lemon Pepper Rice and Chicken

I tweaked this recipe and made it several times until it was just to my liking! Very twangy and spicy! Yum Yum!!

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 6-8
• Yields: 5 cups

Ingredients

• 1  lb chicken breast, Diced
• 1⁄4 cup  oil
• 1⁄2 cup yellow onion, chopped roughly
• 1  tablespoon garlic, minced
• 2  cups white rice (I like to use Uncle Ben's Converted)
• 4 1⁄2 cups chicken broth
• 2 -4  tablespoons lemon juice (depending on how tangy you want it)
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning

Directions

1. Turn oven on to 375 degrees.
2. Heat Oil on med-high in a large pan with a tightly fitted lid thats oven safe. (Dutch Oven).
3. Sauté onions and chicken till chicken is completely white, add garlic and cook for another minute or so.
4. Add rice and lemon pepper seasoning and stir well for 1 minute.
5. Add chicken broth and lemon juice and bring to boil.
6. Cover tightly with lid and place on a rack in the middle of your oven, bake for 30-40 minutes stirring once about 15 min into baking. Bake covered until all the juice is evaporated and the rice is dry and fluffy. Enjoy!
7. *You may add as much lemon pepper seasoning as your little heart desires, I tend to add a lot for the spicy tanginess!
8. **Also I like to add veggies before adding the chicken broth and bringing to a boil, I like whole frozen green beans or broccoli.
9. ***Sometimes I make it without the chicken as a side dish to meals as well.
