Roasted Lemon Herb Chicken with Fluffy Rice Pilaf
Savor the zesty brightness of lemon and aromatic herbs on tender roasted chicken, paired with a light, fluffy rice pilaf. This balanced dish offers a burst of flavor with a simple yet satisfying composition that's perfect for a healthy dinner.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked white rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp mixed fresh herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Let it sit for at least 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the rice pilaf. If desired, gently warm the cooked white rice in a pan over low heat with a splash of water, and season lightly with salt and a squeeze of extra lemon juice for brightness.
Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Plate the roasted chicken alongside a serving of the fluffy rice pilaf. Garnish with a sprinkle of extra herbs if desired and serve warm.
