Lemon Chicken & Rice

Tonight's dinner has been one of my favorites since I started doing this blog. I saw a recipe on pinterest for lemon chicken and rice. The picture looked great so I wrote down the ingredients and added them to my grocery list. I finally looked at the directions for cooking it and noticed they said to cook it in a crockpot. Well it was 5:15 so definitely too late for that. So I decided to just wing it and create my own recipe for it. Here it goes:

1 chicken breast
1 box of uncle ben's long grain and wild rice
a few carrot sticks chopped
a 1/4 of an onion chopped
1/2 a can of chicken broth
1 lemon

Cook the rice according to the box
Cook the chicken. I cut it into chunks before I started cooking it.
Squeeze all the juice from the lemon into half of the can of chicken broth.
About half way through the chicken being cooked add the chicken broth, lemon juice, onions, and carrots.
Finish the rice and chicken. Then add the chicken, onions, carrots, and all leftover broth into the rice. Mix together.

I cooked some greenbeans to eat as well. I don't like very many vegetables so I try to get them in where I can.

I think tonight's was a success. It was delicious and I have very little leftovers.
