Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken with Fluffy Rice Pilaf
Savor the bright, zesty flavors of lemon and fresh herbs infused into perfectly roasted chicken, paired with a delicate, fluffy rice pilaf that ties the dish together with its warm, comforting texture.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked White Rice
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 medium Lemon (juice and zest)
1 Garlic Clove
1/2 tsp Mixed Dried Herbs
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice and zest, minced garlic, dried herbs, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in a baking dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Roast the chicken in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken roasts, prepare the rice pilaf. If using leftover cooked rice, warm it in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil, stirring to fluff the grains. Alternatively, gently reheat pre-cooked rice until warm.
Plate the roasted chicken alongside a serving of fluffy rice, and garnish with a light sprinkle of additional herbs or a squeeze of fresh lemon if desired.
