INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Long-Grain Rice
1/4 cup diced Carrot
1/4 cup Green Peas
1/4 piece finely chopped Onion
1 tsp Olive Oil
Serving of Lemon Juice and Zest
1 clove minced Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh Rosemary
1 tbsp Fresh Thyme
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice and zest, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, and olive oil to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a baking dish and rub the marinade over it thoroughly.
Roast the chicken in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is roasting, prepare the rice pilaf by sautéing the diced onions, carrots, and peas in a small pan with a drizzle of olive oil until softened.
Fold in the cooked rice and heat through, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Plate the sliced roasted chicken over a bed of the fluffy rice pilaf and garnish with extra lemon zest and fresh herbs.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
