Ingredients

2 tablespoons oil
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
salt and pepper
1 ½ teaspoons italian seasoning

For The Rice

3 cloves garlic minced
1 cup long grain white rice
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
½ teaspoon dried dill
juice of 1 lemon
1 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup
2 cups chicken broth

Garnish

Lemon slices
Parsley and or basil

Instructions

Season the chicken breasts on all sides with salt and pepper and italian seasoning. Be generous in seasoning. Heat the oil over medium heat in a skillet.
Once heated, add the chicken and sauté for 3 minutes per side. You want to brown the chicken but not cook it through. It should still be undercooked and pink in the middle. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Over medium heat, add garlic, rice, turmeric, italian seasoning, and dried dill to the skillet with the left over pan drippings and remaining oil. Sauté and let the rice caramelize for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir well so there’s no burning.
Add the lemon juice to deglaze the pan. Stir in the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup. Stir until well combined. Bring to a simmer uncovered.
Once the rice mixture is simmering, place the chicken on top of the rice and broth mixture. Cook covered at a steady simmer for 15 minutes or until your rice and chicken are cooked.
Once the rice is done cooking, garnish with fresh parsley, basil, and lemon slices and serve immediately.
