INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked White Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil (for pilaf)
1 tsp Olive Oil (for marinade)
2 cloves Garlic
1/4 medium Onion
1/2 cup Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Fresh Thyme & Rosemary (to taste)
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon olive oil (for marinade), lemon juice, chopped fresh thyme and rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the chicken breast.
Place the marinated chicken breast on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is roasting, prepare the garlic rice pilaf. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil (for pilaf) in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add finely chopped garlic and 1/4 diced onion to the pan and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the cooked white rice to the pan along with the low sodium chicken broth. Stir to combine and allow the flavors to meld over low heat for 3-4 minutes.
Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper, and finish by stirring in a handful of fresh chopped thyme and rosemary if desired.
Plate the roasted chicken breast alongside a serving of the garlic rice pilaf and garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm.
