Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into 1-inch cubes
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnishing
Instructions
- In a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken and season it liberally with salt and pepper.
- Cook the chicken for about 5 minutes, or until cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set it aside.
- To the same skillet, melt the remaining butter. Add the onion and celery and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add the garlic, thyme, rosemary, and crushed red pepper flakes cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the rice and broth. Increase heat to high and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 15 minutes, until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid.
- Return the chicken to the skillet. Stir in the peas and lemon juice. Cover and cook for another 5 minutes, until all of the liquid has been absorbed into the rice and the peas and chicken have warmed through.
- Serve warm, garnished with parsley if using.
