INSTRUCTIONS
-
1 Season chicken breasts with 1/2 tsp. of the salt, half the pepper, thyme and onion powder. Set aside.
-
2 Heat 1 tsp. of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high, add the vegetables and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until tender crisp. Massage the pouch of rice to loosen grains and add with 1 Tbsp. water to the pan, stir and cook about 2 minutes more to heat through. Remove from pan, set aside and keep warm.
-
3 Return pan to medium-high heat, add chicken and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side to brown. Remove from pan and set aside, leaving drippings in the pan.
-
4 Return the pan to the heat and add minced garlic, sauté for 30 seconds. Add chicken broth, heavy cream, remaining 1/2 tsp. salt, and the remaining pepper. Bring to a low simmer, then stir in the lemon zest, juice, and Dijon mustard. Cook for 1 minute.
-
5 Return the chicken to the pan with sauce, turn to coat, cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and internal temperature is 165°F, about 3-4 minutes more. Remove chicken from the pan, let rest for a 3-5 minutes, slice and add back into the sauce.
-
6 Arrange the rice and vegetable mixture on a plate and top with chicken and sauce. *This ingredient is divided between steps.
