INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Basmati Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup diced Carrot
1/4 cup diced Onion
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Mixed Dried Herbs
Salt and Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, minced garlic, mixed dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Rub this marinade evenly over the chicken breast.
Place the chicken on a lightly greased baking tray and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken roasts, heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add diced onions and carrots, sautéing until they are softened and slightly translucent.
Stir in the cooked basmati rice into the saucepan with the vegetables, mixing well to combine the flavors. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper as needed.
Once the chicken is roasted, slice it and serve alongside the fluffy rice pilaf. Garnish with a little extra lemon juice or herbs if desired.
