Garlic Herb Chicken with Rice and Steamed Vegetables

Instructions

Step 1 In a bowl, toss the chicken strips with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
Step 2 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked.
Step 3 In a separate pot, warm the cooked rice with butter and a pinch of salt, fluffing with a fork.
Step 4 Steam the broccoli and carrots for 5–6 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Step 5 Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Step 6 Plate the rice, top with garlic herb chicken, and serve alongside the steamed vegetables.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat chicken and rice in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water to prevent drying out.
Vegetables are best reheated lightly to avoid becoming too soft.
This meal can be portioned into containers for easy meal prep throughout the week.
