INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Asparagus
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
In a small bowl, mix the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breast on a cutting board and lightly pound to even thickness if needed. Rub the marinade evenly over the chicken.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken to sear for about 2 minutes on each side until golden pre-bake.
Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the brown rice if not done already. Reheat or fluff pre-cooked rice with a fork for texture.
Trim the tough ends off the asparagus and toss with a tiny drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Plate the chicken alongside the brown rice and roasted asparagus, and serve warm.
