INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
0.75 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 whole Lemon
1 tbsp Fresh Rosemary
1 tbsp Fresh Thyme
1 small Onion
1 medium Bell Pepper
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, juice of half a lemon, chopped rosemary, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in a baking dish and drizzle the herb mixture over it, ensuring it is well coated.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the rice pilaf: In a medium pan, heat a small drizzle of olive oil and lightly sauté finely chopped onion and diced bell pepper until translucent and soft.
Stir in the cooked brown rice and, if desired, add a squeeze of lemon juice along with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Warm through for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Slice the roasted chicken and serve over a bed of the warm, fluffy rice pilaf.
