Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken with Fluffy Rice Pilaf
Enjoy a succulent roasted chicken breast infused with fresh lemon and herbs paired with a delicately fluffy white rice pilaf. This dish brings bright citrus notes, aromatic garlic, and the comforting texture of perfectly steamed rice, creating a balanced and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Cooked White Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Lemon
1 Garlic clove
2 Tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Thyme)
Salt and Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine the juice of one lemon, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a baking dish and coat evenly with the lemon herb marinade. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the chicken is roasting, prepare the rice pilaf. In a saucepan, add the cooked white rice and a splash of water or low-sodium chicken broth if desired, then warm it over medium heat, stirring gently to fluff the rice.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Serve the roasted chicken atop or beside the fluffy rice pilaf, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
