Another great one-pot recipe.  I tried this recipe because I just LOVE rice (more than pasta).  I hope you will try it and ENJOY!!

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 med onion, chopped
1 large carrot, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 Tbs butter or margarine

2 to 3 Tbs lemon juice

1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 c uncooked instant rice
