Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken with Fluffy Rice Pilaf and Roasted Asparagus
Enjoy a vibrant dinner of tender, lemon herb roasted chicken paired with a light, fluffy rice pilaf and crisp roasted asparagus. This well-balanced dish offers a bright citrus note combined with savory herbs for a meal that is both satisfying and nourishing.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked White Basmati Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 cup Asparagus
1/4 Lemon (juice and zest)
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Thyme)
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine the juice and zest of the lemon with chopped fresh parsley and thyme, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken breast dry and rub with half of the lemon-herb mixture.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is roasting, prepare the rice pilaf. In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat, then stir in the cooked rice, and season with a pinch of salt and the remaining lemon-herb mixture. Warm through until heated evenly.
Trim the woody ends of the asparagus. Toss them lightly with a little salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Spread on a separate baking tray and roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender.
Plate the roasted chicken alongside a serving of rice pilaf and roasted asparagus. Enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal!
