INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast (170g)
1/3 cup dry Orzo Pasta (57g)
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley (chopped)
1/2 teaspoon Dried Thyme
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, olive oil, chopped parsley, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour the lemon herb marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
For the roasted garlic, place garlic cloves on a piece of foil, drizzle with a tiny bit more olive oil and wrap the foil, then roast in the oven for about 10 minutes until softened.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until fully cooked.
Stir the roasted garlic into the cooked orzo, mashing lightly to infuse flavor.
Serve the sliced chicken breast over a bed of garlic orzo and enjoy your delicious, balanced meal.
