Lemon Parmesan Chicken & Rice

 


Lemon Parmesan Chicken & Rice

Huge portion for my teenager lol. This was really good. It reminded me of the chicken & rice recipe that my son loves. I made it almost as is, the only change I made was that I coated the chicken in the seasoning instead of putting it in the rice. I feel like it flavors the chicken more and there is plenty flavor with the rice. Oh yeah I also only used 1.75 cups of water, I think 3 cups would of been waaay to much since the rice was a smidge mushy even like that. But it was really good! I'd make this again. We served it with a bagged Caesar salad kit. I love lemon flavors and I think it would really be upgraded with a fresh herb like basil or parsley. 


I gave some to my 6 month old (along with peas and carrots) and he didn't care for it. But to be fair it was too close to bedtime so he didn't want any real food, just to nurse lol.

I forgot to grab a picture! Dinnertime is a bit chaotic because the baby is about ready for bed by then so he's a bit grumpy.

This was okay. I wouldn't make it again unless someone asked for it, but it was easy and budget friendly. It was a smidge bland and could have used more cheese. My son didn't say anything about it, and my husband was on a work trip so he didn't try it.
