    7 Delicious Lemon Chicken and Rice Recipes

    Nothing goes together better than lemon, chicken and rice. Here are my top 7 (seven) recipes for delicious recipes featuring lemon, chicken, and rice.

    Check out these Mediterranean inspired recipes.

    If you love the tangy lemony chicken orzo soup at Panera Bread, you'll love my copycat recipe, Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup Panera Style. It is hearty, yet light and tasty with rich chicken flavor and bright with lemon juice and zest. Best of all, you can have it on the table in 30 minutes!

    Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup Panera Style
    Mediterranean inspired soup with lemon, chicken, and orzo pasta with tender chicken, vegetables, and a lemony chicken broth. So much flavor in a copycat Panera Bread soup recipe.

    Chicken and rice are great together. They are even better when combined with lemon, garlic and oregano. Greek Chicken with Lemon Rice is a one pot wonder. You can marinate the chicken for as little as 20 minutes or as much as overnight.

    One Pot Greek Chicken with Lemon Rice
    This one-pot chicken dish gets great flavor from the lemon, oregano, and garlic marinade. The marinade gets added back in to the pot to cook the rice for even more flavor.

    Meyer Lemon Garlic Chicken made the cut for this round-up because it uses ingredients you probably have on hand. It is table ready in under an hour and the oven does most of the work. If you love garlic, this one's for you!

    Meyer Lemon Garlic Chicken
    In this recipe, skin-on chicken cooks in a sauce of shallots, Meyer lemon and lots of garlic. The sauce is then poured over the orzo pasta. Delicious!

    This recipe for Meyer Lemon Chicken Under a Brick makes the most rustic and delicious chicken. Butter, sherry, lemon, garlic, and fresh herbs add a flavor punch while the brick weighs the chicken down for perfectly crispy skin. This one is worth the trip to the hardware store for a couple of bricks if you don't have any lying around.

    Meyer Lemon Chicken Under a Brick
    My recipe for Chicken Under a Brick is inspired by the beautiful Meyer lemon. Recipe uses butter, lemon, garlic, thyme, and sherry for the sauce. Yum.

    If you love Asian cuisine, the next 3 are for you!

    If you are like me, I had you at Sticky Lemon Chicken. For this dish, I use Meyer lemons when they are available, but any lemon will work. The honey provides enough sweetness to counter the tartness of the lemon. This one does most of it's cooking in the oven and it too is on the table in under an hour. Tip: Have plenty of napkins ready!

    Sticky Lemon Chicken
    Chicken pieces with sticky lemon sauce served over rice. Sweetness and stickiness comes from the honey in the sauce.

    I chose this recipe for the round-up because Sticky Lemon Marmalade Chicken is made easy with store-bought lemon marmalade. You can also use your own homemade lemon marmalade like I did, when a batch failed set up firmly. If you can't find lemon marmalade, use orange and call it Sticky Orange Chicken. Tasty served over steamed white rice, preferably Jasmine rice.

    Sticky Lemon Marmalade Chicken
    Chinese take-out favorite, Lemon Chicken, made sticky and sweet with homemade or store-bought lemon marmalade.

    Chinese Restaurant Style Lemon Chicken got it's name from a story my son told me about his difficulty in getting lemon chicken at a local restaurant in the small desert town he lived in. I decided to create a recipe for lemon chicken that he could make it at home and share with his co-workers. The chicken is tart, a little sweet, with a bit of heat from the red pepper flakes. No groveling required. 🙂

    Chinese Restaurant Style Lemon Chicken
    This Chinese Restaurant Style Lemon Chicken is lemony, tart, and a bit spicy with the addition of red pepper and a little grated ginger.
