The recipe in 15 seconds

Method

  1. Toss the chicken with the paprika, garlic powder and salt.

  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken without moving it for 3 minutes, then turn and cook until browned and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes more.

  3. Meanwhile, microwave the rice following the packet. Put the broccoli in a bowl with 2 tbsp water, cover and microwave until bright green and tender, about 3 minutes.

  4. Stir the yogurt, lemon juice and grated garlic together with a pinch of salt.

  5. Divide the rice between two bowls, top with the chicken and broccoli and spoon over the lemon yogurt sauce.

Tips

  • Chicken is done at 165°F in the thickest piece.
  • Doubles easily for meal prep; keep the sauce separate and it lasts 4 days in the fridge.
  • Swap the rice for quinoa or sweet potato.
