Here is how you make Lemon-Pepper Chicken layer with Vegetables:

Serves 4; 1 chicken breast half plus heaping 1.75 cups vegetables and rice per serving.Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat. Remove from the heat and lightly spray with olive oil spray (being careful not to spray near a gas flame). Cook the onion for 4 to 5 minutes, or until it begins to brown, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic. Cook for 1 minute stirring constantly.Meanwhile, grate the lemon; set the zest aside. Squeeze the lemon; you should get about 2 tbsp of juice. After cooking the garlic, stir the juice into the Dutch oven, scraping any brown bits from the bottom. Cook for 2 minutes, or until juice is nearly evaporated. Stir in the broth, bell pepper, carrot, rice, and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 6 to 7 minutes, or until the rice begins to plump and the vegetables begin to soften, adding more water if needed.meanwhile, on a plate, stir together the lemon zest, pepper, salt, and hot pepper sauce. Add the chicken, turn to coat evenly. When the broth mixture is thick enough that the chicken won't sink into it, stir in mixture. Place the chicken on top, trying to avoid overlapping. Increase the heat to medium low. Cook, covered, for 12 minutes.Distribute the bok choy evenly over the chicken. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center.Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user AER1977.
