INGREDIENTS
3.5 oz Chicken Breast (approx 100g)
1.5 cups Roasted Garlic Broccoli (approx 136g)
1 cup Brown Rice Pilaf (cooked, approx 195g)
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2 Garlic Cloves
1/2 small Onion
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F for roasting the broccoli.
In a small bowl, mince 2 garlic cloves. Toss broccoli florets with the minced garlic, a drizzle of olive oil (reserve 1 tsp for searing the chicken if desired), salt, and pepper.
Spread the broccoli on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred at the edges.
While the broccoli is roasting, finely dice 1/2 small onion and sauté it with a little olive oil in a small saucepan until softened. Add brown rice (pre-cooked or use quick-cooking brown rice) and stir to combine, creating a simple rice pilaf. Adjust salt and pepper to taste and keep warm.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with a small amount of olive oil. Sear the chicken breast for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms. Lower the heat and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Plate the dish by placing a serving of brown rice pilaf, topping with the roasted garlic broccoli, and laying the seared chicken breast on the side. Serve immediately.
