INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp Fresh Rosemary
1/2 tsp Fresh Thyme
1 clove Garlic
1/2 cup Brown Rice (cooked)
1/4 medium Onion
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1/4 cup Green Peas
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme. Mix thoroughly to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breast on a baking tray and coat it evenly with the marinade. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper as desired.
Roast the chicken in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken roasts, prepare the rice pilaf. In a saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil and lightly sauté the finely chopped onion until translucent.
Add the pre-cooked brown rice to the saucepan and stir for a minute to combine with the onion.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Gently mix in the green peas and cover the pan, letting it simmer for 5-7 minutes until heated through and flavors meld.
Once the chicken is done, allow it to rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken and serve alongside the warm, fluffy rice pilaf.
