INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked White Rice (from 1/2 cup uncooked)
8 spears Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Thyme)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, minced garlic, and mixed fresh herbs. Set aside.
Place the chicken breast on a plate and pour half of the lemon herb mixture over it, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the asparagus by laying the spears on a baking tray, drizzling with olive oil, and seasoning lightly with salt and pepper.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated chicken breast for about 3-4 minutes on each side until it develops a golden crust. Then, transfer the skillet to the oven (or finish cooking in the oven) and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Prepare the fluffy rice according to package instructions if not already cooked.
To serve, slice the chicken breast, plate alongside a serving of fluffy rice, and arrange the roasted asparagus on the side. Drizzle any remaining lemon herb sauce over the chicken for an extra burst of flavor.
