INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1/3 cup cooked Jasmine Rice
2 tablespoons Reduced-Fat Coconut Milk
1/4 cup frozen Green Peas
~5 spears Asparagus (approx. 100g)
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Parsley and Thyme)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped fresh herbs to create a zesty marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and coat it evenly with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
While marinating, prepare the rice. In a small saucepan, warm the cooked jasmine rice with the reduced-fat coconut milk over low heat until creamy. Stir in the frozen peas and let the heat melt them into the dish.
Meanwhile, arrange the asparagus spears on a baking sheet. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the marinated chicken breast for 5-6 minutes per side, or until thoroughly cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Plate a serving of creamy coconut rice with peas, add the seared lemon herb chicken on top or alongside, and finish with a side of roasted asparagus.
Serve immediately and enjoy the blend of lemony, herby, and tropical flavors.
