INGREDIENTS
1 piece Chicken Breast (170g)
1 cup cooked Brown Rice (195g)
1 cup Asparagus (134g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
½ medium Lemon (zest and juice)
1 tsp Dried Thyme
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Zest half a lemon over the chicken for extra citrus flavor.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Sear the chicken breast for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
Transfer the chicken to an oven-safe dish. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the chicken and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is baking, prepare the brown rice according to package instructions until fluffy.
Toss the asparagus with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a few drops of olive oil. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven alongside the chicken for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Plate the chicken with a serving of brown rice and roasted asparagus. Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
