Ingredients

  • 1 portion of dried oregano, split into two parts
  • Half portion of black pepper, split into two parts
  • A pinch of Salt, as per taste preference
  • Four pieces of skinless, boneless chicken breast (6 ounces each)
  • Two portions of olive oil, split
  • A small lemon, sliced into eight pieces
  • A quarter portion of jarred sun-dried tomatoes, drained
  • Two large minced garlic cloves
  • A pack of UNCLE BEN'S® READY RICE® Roasted Chicken Flavored Rice (8.8 oz)
  • One-third cup of unsalted chicken broth
  • A package of fresh baby spinach (6 oz)
  • Crumbled feta cheese, to taste (Optional)
  • Toasted pine nuts, two tablespoons

Step 1

Mix a delightful blend of oregano and pepper in a bowl, and if desired, a pinch of salt can be added. Gently coat the chicken with this seasoning mix.

Step 2

In a skillet, warm up a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Place the seasoned chicken in the pan, allowing it to sear for around 6 minutes until it turns a lovely golden brown. Flip the chicken over and place two refreshing lemon slices on each breast. Cover and cook for another 6 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate and loosely cover to retain its warmth.

Step 3

Using the same skillet, heat up another tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Sauté sun-dried tomatoes and garlic for a minute, stirring constantly. Then, add rice, chicken stock, the remaining oregano, and pepper to the skillet. Slowly incorporate the spinach, gently stirring until it wilts. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet and sprinkle with cheese and pine nuts for an extra burst of flavor.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your pantry stocked with essential Mediterranean ingredients like olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and capers for quick and easy access when you're ready to whip up this flavorful dish.
  2. 2. Utilize mason jars or glass containers to store pre-chopped vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and garlic. This will save you time during meal prep and keep your fridge organized.
