INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1/2 cup Mixed Vegetables (Carrots & Peas)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 lemon (juice & zest)
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F for a crispy finish, or use a skillet over medium-high heat if preferred.
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice and zest, chopped fresh parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Coat the chicken breast with the marinade, ensuring it's evenly covered.
For oven cooking, place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F. For skillet cooking, heat a nonstick pan and cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until crispy and fully cooked.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the rice pilaf. Warm the cooked brown rice in a saucepan along with mixed vegetables. Stir gently to combine and heat through.
Plate the crispy chicken breast alongside a serving of fluffy rice pilaf and garnish with a sprinkle of extra parsley and a light squeeze of lemon if desired.
