INGREDIENTS
5 oz Skinless Chicken Thigh (approx. 140g)
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice (approx. 108g)
6 spears Asparagus (approx. 90g)
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Thyme)
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Pat the chicken thigh dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil. Once hot, place the chicken thigh skin-side down (if skin is present) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until nicely browned and crisp. Flip and sear the other side for 2 minutes.
Transfer the skillet or place the chicken thigh on a baking sheet and finish cooking in the oven for an additional 10-12 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the brown rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, toss the rice with lemon juice and fresh herbs.
For the roasted asparagus, trim the tough ends, toss with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread on a baking tray. Roast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Plate the chicken thigh alongside a serving of lemon herb brown rice and roasted asparagus. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful mix of crispy textures and bright flavors.
