INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (142g)
0.75 cup cooked Brown Rice (150g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
1/2 Lemon (50g)
0.25 cup diced Onion (40g)
1 clove minced Garlic (3g)
1 cup Low Sodium Chicken Broth (240g)
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (8g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the juice of 1/2 lemon, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Pat the chicken breast dry and rub it with half of the herb-lemon mixture.
Place the chicken breast in a baking dish and roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Meanwhile, heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the olive oil, then sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until they become softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the cooked brown rice and chicken broth to the saucepan. Stir to combine and then cover. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the flavors meld and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Fluff the rice pilaf with a fork and stir in the remaining herb mixture.
Slice the roasted chicken and serve it on a bed of the fluffy rice pilaf. Garnish with extra fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
