INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (marinade)
2 cups Broccoli
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for broccoli)
1 Lemon (zest and juice)
1 tsp Garlic Powder
0.5 tsp Dried Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of olive oil with the juice and zest of one lemon, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme, and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
Pat the chicken breast dry and coat it evenly with the lemon herb mixture. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes for better flavor absorption.
Place the marinated chicken on one side of the prepared baking tray.
In another bowl, toss the broccoli with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the broccoli in a single layer on the other side of the tray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender and slightly crispy.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the sliced chicken alongside the roasted broccoli.
