Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup cilantro
- 1/2 cup parsley
- 1 jalapeño, seeded
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken in olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet, add marinated chicken, and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes on each side. Remove and let rest.
- In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed, then add rice and toast for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in chicken broth, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
- Blend cilantro, parsley, jalapeño, garlic, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth for the green sauce.
- Plate chicken over the jasmine rice, drizzle with green sauce, and garnish with a lime wedge.
Notes
Letting the chicken marinate overnight can enhance the flavor. Adjust the spice level of the green sauce by modifying jalapeño amounts.
