Yum
I'm also on the lookout for good weeknight meals, but I haven't really jumped on the "One Pot" bandwagon yet. Have you? I've made a couple such as my Chicken and Asparagus dish, and One Pot Pasta.
I've pinned a lot of them though. So today I thought I'd use up some chicken from the frig and make one of these recipes I've pinned so many moons ago! #PinterestIsAddicting
The One Pot Lemon Herb Chicken and Rice recipe comes from Tiffany over at Crème de la Crumb. She's a wiz in the kitchen and has so many great recipes on her site, so make sure to check it out. I basically followed her recipe with a little addition of some extra spice on the chicken itself.
Where have these quick 30 minutes meals, made in one pot, been all my life? One pot? Yes please. Easy on the clean up and it takes just a tiny bit of prep and you have a tasty dinner on the table in 30 minutes.
Do you love lemon? Love chicken and rice? Need a quick weeknight meal? Then One Pot Lemon Herb Chicken and Rice is the dish for you. The flavors are bright with lemon and spiced with pepper. The Italian seasoning lends that fresh herbaceous pop we love, and the rice is just comfort city. This might be you new comfort food dish for the upcoming fall season.
Enjoy!
