INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1/2 Lemon (juiced)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs (Parsley, Rosemary, Thyme)
1 clove Garlic
1/4 medium Yellow Onion
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine the juice of half a lemon, olive oil, chopped fresh herbs, and a minced garlic clove.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and coat evenly with the lemon-herb marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the rice pilaf.
For the rice pilaf, heat a small non-stick pan over medium heat and sauté the finely diced quarter portion of yellow onion (and an extra pinch of minced garlic if desired) until softened and translucent.
Mix the cooked brown rice into the pan with the onions, stirring gently to combine the flavors. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Place the marinated chicken breast on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Plate the roasted chicken alongside a serving of the fluffy rice pilaf. Garnish with an extra drizzle of fresh lemon juice or herbs if desired, and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal!
