INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 medium Lemon
1 clove Garlic
1/4 cup chopped Onion
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, juice from half a lemon, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and thyme.
Place the chicken breast on a baking tray, and rub the lemon herb mixture evenly on both sides. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Roast the chicken in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Meanwhile, prepare the rice pilaf by combining the cooked brown rice with the chopped onion. Warm the mixture in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice if preferred.
Once the chicken is done, slice it and serve atop or alongside the savory rice pilaf. Garnish with extra parsley and a lemon wedge if desired.
