I LOVE one pot meals for their convenience and ease. This One Pot Lemon Pepper Chicken with Rice is simple to prepare and easily feeds a family of four, it's also extremely tasty and budget-friendly.
In a large cast iron skillet or heavy bottomed skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Make sure your skillet has a lid.
Once hot, add the shallots and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Season the chicken with some salt and the pepper. Place the chicken in the skillet, cook for 2 minutes on each side to brown it. Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a plate.
Add the broth, rice, lemon, mushrooms and parsley to the skillet. Place the chicken back into the pan, on the top of the rice mixture. Bring to a boil then simmer for 25-30 minutes until the rice is cooked. Serve immediately.
