Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken with Fluffy Rice Pilaf
Savor the bright, tangy flavor of lemon and herbs on perfectly roasted chicken paired with a light and fluffy rice pilaf. This balanced meal offers a burst of freshness with aromatic herbs and citrus, complemented by the subtle, savory notes of garlic and onion that elevate every bite.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Long Grain White Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 medium Lemon
1 clove Garlic
1/4 small Onion
1 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Rosemary and Thyme)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine the juice of half a lemon, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped onion, and fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in a baking dish and coat evenly with the lemon herb mixture.
Roast the chicken in the oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and juices run clear. If available, use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 165°F.
Meanwhile, prepare the rice pilaf by fluffing the pre-cooked long grain white rice. Optionally, stir in a tiny pinch of salt and a few drops of lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Plate the sliced chicken alongside the fluffy rice pilaf and drizzle any remaining pan juices over the top for extra flavor.
