1
Heat the olive oil in a large pan and add the finely diced onion and minced garlic, sauté on a medium heat until the onions have softened.
2
Add the lemon zest and juice, stir well to ensure it's mixed well with the onion and olive oil.
3
Cut the chicken breast into large pieces and add them to the pan, turning up the heat to sear the chicken on both sides. This will give it a nice color and will allow it to soak up the lemon and oil.
4
Lower the heat and add Greek yoghurt, dried thyme, salt and pepper to the pan, ensure these are mixed well.
5
Add the chicken pieces back into the pan and let it simmer on a medium heat for 10 minutes.
6
While the chicken is cooking, cook the rice according to the packet instructions. Usually it involves boiling the rice on medium heat for about 15 minutes until it's tender.
7
Serve the creamy lemon chicken on top of the fluffy cooked rice.
