Hey Reader,

I know, I know, another chicken and rice recipe... but hear me out, because this is no plain chicken and rice dinner. My new lemon chicken and rice is the good kind of simple with little cubes of chicken cook in with the rice so you get some in every SINGLE bite, sweet peas added at the end along with bright lemon juice, plus a handful of Parmesan that makes the whole pot creamy without any actual cream (it took me more rounds than I'd like to admit to land on that ratio). 😉

Plus it's one-pot, 31g protein, and done in about 40 minutes. Oh, and it's naturally gluten-free as written. Skip the Parmesan (or use a good df option) and swap the butter for olive oil and it's dairy-free, too. Still sooo good that way, just a little less rich.

If chicken and rice has gotten a little sad at your house too... this is the one I'd start with!
