Simple 2-Serving Chicken And Wild Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 frozen chicken breasts
1 lemon, juiced
4 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons dried basil leaves, crushed
2/3 cup wild rice (or brown rice, not instant!)
2/3 cup white wine
2/3 cup chicken broth
salt
pepper

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F Place the butter in a 2 quart baking dish and place it in the preheating oven to melt the butter (or just melt the butter in the microwave or saucepan - I just like that I don't have to dirty another dish by melting it right in the baking dish while the oven is heating up anyway).
In the meantime juice your lemon and set aside. When the butter is melted take your baking dish out of the oven and stir in the rice, making sure all grains are coated with the butter.
Stir in the wine, broth and lemon juice. Add the dried basil crushing it between your fingers. Add salt and pepper to taste and stir well.
Place the frozen chicken breasts on top of the rice and cover the baking dish with foil.
Bake in the 375F oven, covered for 1 hour. Remove the foil and continue to bake for another 30-45 minutes, or until almost all of the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
