INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast (raw)
1/2 cup cooked White Rice
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tablespoons chopped Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley (chopped)
1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme (chopped)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, olive oil, chopped garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a baking dish and coat evenly with the marinade. Let it rest for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Roast the chicken 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 a non-stick pan over medium heat, adding the chopped onion and sautéing until softened (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the cooked white rice to the onions, stirring well to combine and heat through. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper if needed.
Plate the roasted chicken breast alongside a serving of the warm rice pilaf. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavor-packed meal.
