Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

Add rice to the same skillet, stirring to coat with any remaining drippings. Pour in chicken broth or water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.

Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork. Stir in the lemon juice.

Divide the cooked rice among two bowls. Top each bowl with the cooked lemon herb chicken.

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and any desired optional toppings like red pepper flakes or Greek yogurt. Serve immediately.

Final Notes

This chicken and rice bowl is incredibly versatile; feel free to add your favorite roasted vegetables, a drizzle of hot sauce, or a sprinkle of feta cheese for extra flair. It also makes for excellent meal prep – simply store components separately and assemble when ready to eat. Enjoy this simple yet sophisticated dish that nourishes both body and soul!
