One Pot Chicken and Lemon Rice
I have a delicious recipe for you guys today! If you love Lemon, this is for you! I love recipes that are full of flavor and easy for us to make. This recipe is actually a One Pot meal, and I will admit, it is the first time I have ever put one of my beloved Faberware pots with Teflon Brand coating into the oven! It is made to do so, I just never have, so I spent the 1st 15 minutes of checking it out to make sure nothing weird happened 😉 And to my delight, the pot didn’t melt and dinner was delicious.
I did receive the rice from Uncle Ben’s for review, but all opinions about it and this recipe are 100% my own!
The fact that I used Uncle Ben’s Flavored Grains Basmati Medley Savory Herb Rice made seasoning the rice easy! In fact, between the savory herb mix and the lemon, this dish is AMAZING.
As you can see, I used chicken tenders in this recipe, you don’t have to, it was just what I had available in my refrigerator at the time, regular chicken breasts would work fabulous as well. My kids ate this one too, so I would definitely say it’s a great family meal 🙂

I have had lemon chicken before but lemon chicken and rice is different. It certainly looks delicious, I can’t wait to give it a try. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
This recipe looks mouth-watering! I love to make things more complicated than they need to be [ 😉 ], so I might use chicken thighs with the skin on, roast them first for extra flavour, then remove the skins and prepare the dish. Or maybe even roast them with a lemon-rosemary-mustard coating first…oh the possibilities. Anyway, there I go, making things too difficult for myself. 😉 Thanks for the inspiration!
You’re welcome – ENJOY! And be sure to come back and let me know how you made yours….it sounds AMAZING!!

I love chicken and rice. I grew up on it, but I’ve never had it with lemon. I bet that it gives it a tangy flavor. Sounds delicious.
