INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked White Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh Thyme
1 tbsp Fresh Rosemary
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, mix the fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped thyme, chopped rosemary, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Pat the chicken breast dry and rub the lemon-herb mixture evenly over it.
Heat a pan with the olive oil and quickly sear the chicken on both sides until lightly golden to seal in the juices.
Transfer the chicken to an oven-safe dish and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
For the rice pilaf, reheat the cooked rice in a saucepan. Optionally, you can drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil and season with salt and pepper, stirring until warmed through and fluffing with a fork.
Plate the roasted chicken alongside a generous serving of fluffy rice pilaf and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
Enjoy your light yet protein-packed meal.
