Preparation
1
Cook rice

  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F. 
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and half the Zesty Garlic Blend. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • To the boiling water, stir in rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.

2
Prep

  • Meanwhile, zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Peel, then cut half the onion (whole onion for 4 servings) into 1/4-inch pieces.

3
Cook chicken

  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then season with salt, pepper and remaining Zesty Garlic Blend.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Sear for 2-3 min per side, until golden.
  • Transfer to an unlined baking sheet.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 12-14 min, until cooked through.**

4
Cook veggies

  • Meanwhile, heat the same pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peppers and onions. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-6 min, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp.
  • Transfer to a plate, then cover to keep warm.

5
Make lemon-pesto sauce

  • To a small bowl, add pesto, 1 tsp (2 tsp) lemon zest and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lemon juice.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.

6
Finish and serve

  • Fluff rice with a fork, then season with salt. Stir in veggies and 1 tsp (2 tsp) lemon zest.
  • Thinly slice chicken.
  • Divide pilaf between bowls. Top with chicken.
  • Spoon lemon-pesto sauce over chicken.
  • Sprinkle with feta.
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if you like.
