Tip:

For even more flavor. Consider marinating the chicken breasts. In a little lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil. For about 30 minutes. Before assembling the dish. This not only infuses the chicken. With a zesty, fresh flavor. But also helps tenderize the meat. For an even juicier result. And if you’re feeling adventurous. Add some chopped fresh herbs. Like thyme or parsley to the rice mixture. To bring in a fresh, earthy note.
