Heat a large skillet that is at least 2 inches deep over medium-high heat.
Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder and parsley.
Add butter to the skillet; cook chicken in hot butter until browned, but not cooked all the way through, about 2 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate or platter.
Add rice, chicken stock, lemon zest, lemon juice and parsley to the skillet over medium heat; use a wooden spoon to scrape the browned bits from the skillet. Let rice come to a small boil; reduce heat to a simmer.
Place the chicken on top of the rice mixture; cover; cook 20 - 25 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
Garnish chicken with lemon slices and parsley, if desired. Serve.
4 servings.
