INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Fresh Lemon Zest
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
1 Garlic Clove
1/2 cup Cooked Brown Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs, lemon zest, fresh thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Brush the chicken breast lightly with olive oil. Press the breadcrumb mixture onto the top surface of the chicken to create an herb crust.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the chicken bakes, heat a small pan over medium heat with a tiny drizzle of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the cooked brown rice to the pan and gently stir to combine the garlic flavor throughout the rice.
Plate the chicken (sliced if preferred) over a serving of garlic rice. Garnish with additional lemon zest and thyme if desired, and serve warm.
