INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Cooked White Rice
6 spears Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
1 tsp Fresh Rosemary
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped thyme, and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over it. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, toss the asparagus with the remaining marinade and place them on a baking sheet.
Place the marinated chicken on a separate baking sheet. Roast the chicken and asparagus in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the asparagus is tender with slightly crispy tips.
Warm the cooked white rice in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through.
Plate the dish by placing a serving of warm rice pilaf, topping it with the sliced roasted chicken, and arranging the roasted asparagus on the side. Serve immediately.
