Lemon Chicken & Rice with Basil

1 cup dry Instant brown rice
1 can chicken broth
Lemon
1 lb Chicken breast
sprigs of fresh basil

Brown chicken in non-stick pan. Remove.

Cook rice, broth (add enough water to broth to make 2 cups), and amount of lemon zest to your liking. I used a lot. Cook covered for the amount of time required by the box on instant rice.

Add chicken back in and squeeze half of juice from one lemon. Cook until chicken is done.

Turn heat off, add rest of lemon juice and sprigs of fresh basil. Enjoy!

This was so easy and tasted really good. It was supposed to be something else but I didn't have all the ingredients so I just made it up as I went along.

I can vouch for Antigone's recipe. It was yummy! The hint of fresh basil made it a cut above.

This sounds wonderful and also healthy. Thanks for posting, Annie! I'll be trying this soon as I get some fresh basil.

Hey I was so proud to use the basil. I probably wouldn't have put it in there because it is so hard to buy and keep basil but I had just bought a plant and just had to pinch a little off of it. I was delighted and it really made all the difference in the chicken.
