Savor a bright and uplifting dish featuring tender, lemon herb roasted chicken paired with a light, fluffy rice pilaf accented with gentle sautéed onions and garlic. This recipe strikes the perfect balance between robust citrus flavors and comforting grain textures.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked White Rice
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 medium Lemon (zested & juiced)
1/4 medium Onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 tsp Fresh Thyme, chopped
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, mix together the juice and zest of the lemon, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in a baking dish and pour half of the lemon herb mixture over it, ensuring it is well coated. Let marinate for 10 minutes if time allows.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the diced onion until translucent.
Add the cooked white rice into the saucepan with the onions and stir gently. Pour in the remaining lemon herb mixture and heat until warmed through.
Fold in chopped parsley to finish the rice pilaf.
Plate the roasted chicken alongside a generous serving of the fluffy rice pilaf and garnish with extra parsley if desired.
