EASY LEMON CHICKEN WITH RICE

Steps:

• Season chicken breasts generously with garlic powder, parsley, pepper, and if desired (for a more lemon taste) lemon pepper. Sprinkle a light amount of salt of the chicken.
• Heat up a skillet on high heat, and add butter and olive oil. Once hot (a sprinkle of water will "sizzle" in the oil), add seasoned chicken breasts.
• Sear chicken on both sides until lightly browned, then remove the chicken from the skillet to a plate (keep burner on high the entire time).
• Add lemon juice to the hot skillet and swirl it around to loosen all the chicken juices and flavor from the pan, but DO NOT DISCARD.
• Add water quickly after lemon juice has picked up the spices. Add bouillon cubes and bring to a boil.
• Stir in corn starch that has been dissolved in 1/2 Celsius cold water.
• Wait for a reboil, and then add the chicken breasts back into the gravy mixture.
• Wait for another reboil and then cover the skillet, and turn the heat to low.
• Let chicken simmer for 15-20 minutes (I usually start rice in the rice maker at this point because our rice only takes about 15-20 minutes to cook, but you'll have to adjust based on your needs and equipment).
• Serve chicken over rice.

LEMONGRASS CHICKEN WITH SNOW PEAS AND JASMINE RICE

Steps:

• Prepare the rice using the package directions, except use 1 1/2 cups water and omit the salt and margarine.
• Meanwhile, trim and discard about 6 inches from the slender tip end of the lemongrass stalk. Remove the outer layer of the leaves from the bottom part of the stalk. Carefully cut the stalk in half lengthwise. Put in a large saucepan (don't add the lemon zest yet if using).
• Add the broth, remaining 2 cups water, and chicken to the pan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium low. Cook, covered, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the mixture has a lemon flavor. Don't stir. Discard the lemongrass.
• Add the remaining ingredients (if you are using lemon zest instead of lemongrass, add it now). Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the snow peas are tender-crisp, stirring occasionally. Serve over the rice.
• Lemongrass is an herb that often is used in Thai cooking. Although the outer leaves and tops are too tough and fibrous to eat, they can be cooked to provide lemony flavor and an appealing fragrance without the acidity of fresh lemon. Chop or slice the lower part of the stem, the only edible part, for use in a variety of chicken and seafood dishes.
• Made of fresh chile peppers, herbs, and spices, Thai red curry paste is very hot and aromatic. The hotter the chile pepper used (Thai bird's eye is among the hottest), the hotter the chile paste; check the ingredients and make your selection accordingly. Among the many other ingredients that may be included in the paste are cinnamon, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, galangal or fresh ginger, garlic, kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, onion, shrimp paste, turmeric, and vinegar.

CHICKEN WITH RICE & PEAS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a very large non-stick frying pan and cook the onions for 5 mins or until soft. Meanwhile, coat the chicken thoroughly with the thyme, curry powder and allspice. Add to the pan and briefly brown the chicken, then tip in the tomatoes, chilli, garlic and bouillon. Pour over 450ml water, cover and simmer for 30 mins or until the chicken is tender.
• Meanwhile, tip the rice into a medium-sized pan with the onion, garlic, thyme and bouillon. Pour in 600ml water, cover and cook for 25 mins or until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Check toward the end of the cooking time to ensure it isn't starting to catch on the pan. Stir in the beans and heat through. If you're following our Healthy Diet Plan, serve half the rice with half the chicken (saving the leftovers for a second meal later in the week). Otherwise you can serve four portions, scattered with a few extra thyme leaves, if you like.
