Instructions

Step 1
Begin by marinating the chicken. Combine lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs in a bowl. Coat the chicken thoroughly and let it marinate for 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken, ensuring each side is cooked for about 6-8 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char.

Step 3
In a pot, melt margarine over medium heat. Add chopped onions and carrots, sautéing them until they become soft and fragrant, enhancing the rice's flavor.

Step 4
Stir in the brown rice, ensuring it is well-coated with the margarine and vegetables. Pour in the chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a boil.

Step 5
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the rice simmer for 20 minutes. Add the corn during the last 5 minutes of cooking to ensure it's tender.
