INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked White Rice
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (zested and juiced)
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast on a baking tray and rub the lemon herb mixture over it, ensuring even coating.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken roasts, prepare the rice pilaf. Heat a small pan and add the cooked white rice, stirring gently to warm it.
Taste the rice and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the roasted chicken sliced over a bed of fluffy rice pilaf, garnished with additional parsley or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
