INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh Rosemary
1 tbsp Fresh Thyme
1/2 cup Cooked White Rice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in a baking dish and pour the lemon herb mixture over it, ensuring it is well-coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes if time allows.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is roasting, prepare the rice pilaf. Warm the cooked white rice in a small saucepan over low heat, adding a pinch of salt and a dash of olive oil if desired for extra flavor and fluffiness.
Remove the chicken from the oven once done and let it rest for a few minutes.
Serve the roasted chicken alongside the warm, fluffy rice pilaf and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
