INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Long Grain Rice
6 spears Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon juice
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Thyme & Rosemary)
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, mix lemon juice, chopped fresh herbs, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast on a baking tray and rub the lemon herb mixture over it, ensuring it's well coated.
On another baking tray, arrange the asparagus spears, drizzle a bit of olive oil if desired, and season with salt and pepper.
Roast the chicken in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Roast the asparagus for about 10-12 minutes until they are tender and slightly crispy at the edges.
While the chicken and asparagus are roasting, prepare the rice pilaf. Reheat or fluff your pre-cooked long grain rice and season lightly with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Plate the chicken with a serving of rice pilaf on the side and arrange the roasted asparagus on the plate.
Serve immediately and enjoy the bright, herbaceous flavors complemented by the lemony zest.
