Calories 401kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 Shallot finely diced
  • 6 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 lb Chicken breast boneless skinless cut into large chunks
  • 3 tbsp Dried oregano
  • 2 cups Chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup White rice
  • 1 cup Canned diced tomato
  • 1 Lemon zested and juiced
  • 3/4 cup Kalamata olives halved
  • 4 sprigs Fresh thyme

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the shallot and garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes, then brown the chicken on both sides (about 2 to 3 minutes per side).
  • Add in the oregano, broth, rice, tomatoes, lemon juice, zest, and olives. Stir well to combine.
  • Cover with a lid and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, turn the heat down to low or medium-low, to maintain a low simmer until the rice is tender (about 20 to 30 minutes).
  • Once the rice is done, taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Garnish with thyme.
