Here is how you make Lemon and Basil Brown Rice and Chicken:

Place chicken breast in shallow bowl/pan. Combine juice of 2 lemons, olive oil, 10 minced basil leaves, salt and pepper to taste. Rub mixture into the chicken and let stand for up to 1 hour. Bake at 375 until juices run clear. Shred the chicken and add to the rice.For the rice: Feel free to mix red rice with the brown. We always add a cup of red rice. It tastes delicious and adds a pretty color. Heat vegetable oil in pan. Saute the rice for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add minced fresh basil to taste, the juice of 1 lemon, salt and pepper to taste. Stir in water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer on low for approximately 35 minutes or until water is absorbed. Let stand for 5 minutes. Usually, while the rice is standing, I shred the chicken. Mix the chicken into the rice and serve. I normally add the juices from the bottom of the chicken pan to the rice mixture.Makes 10 1cup servings.Number of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user PEACH3ES.
