This easy chicken recipe is sized for a crowd…or plenty of leftovers. Making enough to feed a family of four for 2 meals, it can also be turned into dinner with a couple easy lunches for a family of two. Pair it with steamed or roasted veggies to round out the meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups brown rice
  • 8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 lemon, zest and juice
  • Pepper to taste
