Lemon Chicken: Quick, Easy, and Tasty

I felt like something light and fresh for dinner last night. I have wanted to use this recipe for years and finally got around to it.

First, start some water boiling for your rice and prepare the rice like you normally would when it comes to a boil. Meanwhile, heat some olive oil in a skillet on medium-high. Cut your chicken breasts or tenders into bite sized pieces and chop an onion. Saute until the chicken is browned on all sides; add seasoned salt to taste. Once it is, add the juice of one lemon and cook one minute more. Add a cup of white wine and simmer for fifteen minutes.

Next, add frozen vegetables of your choice (I used broccoli and cauliflower, but really, you could use anything green and it would complement the flavors just fine). Once the vegetables are heated through, remove about half a cup of the liquid and add a teaspoon of arrowroot; slowly add this liquid back to the pan; serve over rice once the sauce is thickened.

Will loved it; it was fresh and flavorful, and nothing screams fresh in the summer like lemon. I think for next time that I will make it with oregano added, because oregano adds an extra level of flavor without overpowering the lemon flavor and complements the chicken.
