One Pot Lemon Herb Chicken & Rice

One Pot Lemon Herb Chicken & Rice for the chicken 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts 2 tablespoons butter salt and pepper to taste 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning for the rice 1 cup uncooked rice (white or brown) 2¼ cups chicken broth (I used low sodium) juice of 1 lemon 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Melt butter over medium heat in a large skillet or pan (one that has a lid). Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste, and Italian seasoning. Brown chicken in the butter for 1-2 minutes on each side. (Chicken shouldn't be cooked through at this point) Transfer chicken to a plate. Add rice, chicken broth, lemon juice, and remaining Italian seasoning to the pan (no need to clean it first). Place chicken on top, then cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes until liquid is dissolved. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired and lemon wedges for squeezing. Serve immediately.
