• •1 tsp dried basil
• •1 tsp salt
• •1/2 tsp black pepper
• •1 cup uncooked white rice

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

2. 2

   In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, basil, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

3. 3

   Coat the chicken breasts in the marinade and let them sit for at least 10 minutes.

   While the chicken marinates, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

5. 5

   In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.

6. 6

   Grill the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

   Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

   Serve the grilled chicken over the rice, drizzle with lemon juice, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
