Fast Recipe: Lemon Chicken and Rice with Artichokes


This is an easy recipe for a new way to make chicken..and healthy too. I added sundried tomatoes for more flavor. You could add regular chopped tomatoes instead and olives as well.

Lemon Chicken and Rice with Artichokes

Cooking spray
1 lb. skinless, bonless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-in. strips
1 3/4 C chopped onion
1 1/2 C chopped red bell pepper
2 C cooked rice (white or brown)
1/4 c fresh lemon juice
1/4 t salt
1/4 t black pepper
1 can chicken broth
1 can quartered artichoke hearts, drained
1/2 c small sized sundried tomatoes
2 T grated Romano cheese
Fresh parsley to put on top.

Heat heavy skilled coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat.
Add chicken, chopped onion and red bell pepper. Saute 5 minutes.
Stir in rice, lemon juice, salt, pepper and broth; bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until rice is tender.
Stir in artichokes and cook 1 minute or until thoroughly heated.
Sprinkle with cheese.
