Healthy Recipe: Lemon Chicken and Rice with Artichokes

Sometimes I add sundried tomatoes to this dish for more flavor.

Ingredients:
1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch strips
2 1/4 C chopped onion
1 C chopped red bell pepper
2 C Instant Rice
1/4 C fresh lemon juice
1/4 t salt
1/4 t black pepper
1 T garlic powder
1 (14 oz) can fat-free chicken broth
1 (14 oz) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained.
2 T grated Romano cheese

Heat a Dutch oven coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add chicken, shopped onion and red pepper; saute 5 minutes. Stir in instant rice, lemon juice salt, black 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. Sprinkle with cheese.
