INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 large Egg White
2 tablespoons Panko Breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 cup Cooked White Rice
1/4 cup diced Onion
1 whole Lemon (for juice and zest)
2 tablespoons Mixed Fresh Herbs
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg white with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the panko breadcrumbs in another bowl and mix in the lemon zest and chopped fresh herbs.
Dip the chicken breast in the egg white mixture, then coat evenly with the herbed breadcrumbs.
Lightly spray the coated chicken with olive oil or drizzle 1/2 teaspoon olive oil over it. Place the chicken on the baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes until the coating is crispy and the chicken is cooked through.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion with a tiny drizzle of olive oil until soft and translucent.
Add the cooked rice to the pan with the onions and stir well to combine. Season with salt, pepper, and a bit more chopped herbs if desired, then warm through for 2-3 minutes.
Plate the rice pilaf as a base and top with the crispy lemon herb chicken. Garnish with an extra squeeze of lemon juice and additional herbs if preferred. Serve warm.
