INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast Fillet (~142g)
1/2 cup Cooked Brown Rice (~100g)
6 Spears Asparagus (~90g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (~5g)
1 small Lemon (zest and juice, ~44g)
1 clove Garlic (~3g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine the juice and zest of the lemon, minced garlic, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Drizzle in the olive oil and mix to form a marinade.
Place the chicken breast on a baking sheet and brush both sides generously with the lemon herb marinade. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes to absorb flavors.
On another baking tray, arrange the asparagus spears. Lightly toss them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Place both trays in the oven. Roast the chicken for about 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, and roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
While the chicken and asparagus are roasting, prepare the brown rice according to package instructions until it’s fluffy and fully cooked.
Plate the roasted chicken alongside a serving of brown rice and the roasted asparagus. Optionally, garnish with a few extra lemon zest shavings or fresh herbs for an added burst of flavor.
