INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Long-Grain White Rice
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
1 clove Garlic
2 tablespoons Fresh Mixed Herbs
1 small Onion
1/4 cup Chicken Broth (low sodium)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine the juice of half a lemon (reserve a little zest), minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, and olive oil.
Pat the chicken breast dry, then rub the lemon herb mixture evenly over it. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Place the chicken on a baking tray and roast in the oven for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
For the rice pilaf, finely dice the small onion and sauté in a pan over medium heat with a few drops of olive oil until translucent.
Add the pre-cooked rice to the pan along with the chicken broth and a pinch of lemon zest. Stir and let simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Plate the roasted chicken alongside a serving of the rice pilaf. Garnish with extra fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon if desired. Enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal!
