ingredients

1 lb chicken breast, Diced
¹⁄₄ cup oil
¹⁄₂ cup yellow onion, chopped roughly
1 tablespoon garlic, minced

2 -4 tablespoons lemon juice (depending on how tangy you want it)
1 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning

directions

Turn oven on to 375 degrees.
Heat Oil on med-high in a large pan with a tightly fitted lid thats oven safe. (Dutch Oven).
Sauté onions and chicken till chicken is completely white, add garlic and cook for another minute or so.
Add rice and lemon pepper seasoning and stir well for 1 minute.
Add chicken broth and lemon juice and bring to boil.
Cover tightly with lid and place on a rack in the middle of your oven, bake for 30-40 minutes stirring once about 15 min into baking. Bake covered until all the juice is evaporated and the rice is dry and fluffy. Enjoy!
*You may add as much lemon pepper seasoning as your little heart desires, I tend to add a lot for the spicy tanginess!
**Also I like to add veggies before adding the chicken broth and bringing to a boil, I like whole frozen green beans or broccoli.
***Sometimes I make it without the chicken as a side dish to meals as well.

I love to cook, and then eat! I have been cooking since i was about 6 years old, i remember climbing up on the counter tops and rummaging through the pantry for anything that would mix. i don't know if you would call that cooking per say but i was experimenting in the very least. I really learned how to cook in about the 5th grade when my parents got a divorce and my mom would get home late from work, so i would make dinner and have it ready for her when she got home. My mom taught me the basics and all the family recipes, she is an awesome cook and mother. I really like to experiment with recipes and try new foods. I love to share my recipes with my friends and co-workers, we trade recipes at work all the time, and sometimes bring in food to share. Everyone at my work says i should go to culinary school, and if i could afford it would go. My husband always says how lucky of a guy he is that his wife can cook, since so many young girls have no interest and their mothers never taught them. I love my husband he's my biggest fan (and critic), but mostly fan. <img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= />
