INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Thigh (skinless)
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Green Beans
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (zest & juice)
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Rosemary & Thyme)
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
In a small bowl, combine the juice and zest of ½ lemon, minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary and thyme, salt, and pepper.
Pat the chicken thigh dry and rub it thoroughly with the lemon-herb mixture. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes if time allows.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thigh for about 3-4 minutes per side until the exterior is crispy and golden.
Transfer the chicken to an oven-safe dish and complete cooking in the preheated oven for an additional 10-12 minutes until fully cooked through.
Meanwhile, toss the green beans with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper, then spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Heat the cooked brown rice to serve alongside by either microwaving or warming in a pan.
Plate the crispy lemon herb chicken thigh with a side of fluffy brown rice and roasted green beans, and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
