  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice

    1 pound chicken breast tenderloins, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Add butter, red pepper flakes and another pinch of salt, garlic powder and pepper to the butter. Heat over medium heat until butter is melted and seasoning is mixed well. Add lemon juice and simmer over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Take out 4 tablespoons to reserve for a finishing sauce.
    1/2 cup butter, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Add rice to remaining sauce in skillet and cook 3 to 4 minutes to brown the rice in the butter sauce. Add chicken broth and mix well. Bring to a boil and lower heat to simmer on medium/low heat. Simmer in skillet for 20-25 minutes, stirring only once or twice to prevent rice from sticking to bottom. Test rice for doneness once liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat.
