Steps
1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
2. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of chicken broth (or water) to a boil. Add the rice, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender.
3. While the rice is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
4. Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and zest.
5. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6. In the last minute of cooking, add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.
7. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
8. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve on a plate topped with sliced chicken and any remaining garlic oil from the pan.
9. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
