INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 medium Carrots
0.5 cup Brown Rice
1 whole Lemon
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tablespoon Fresh Herbs (Rosemary, Thyme)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Rinse and pat dry the chicken breast. Place it on one side of a large sheet pan.
Peel (if desired) and cut the carrots into sticks. Arrange them next to the chicken on the sheet pan.
In a small bowl, squeeze the juice from the lemon, then add the olive oil, minced garlic, and fresh chopped herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Brush the chicken breast generously with the lemon herb marinade, ensuring even coverage on all sides. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the carrot sticks.
Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken breast reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the chicken and carrots are finishing, cook the brown rice according to package instructions (typically simmered for about 40-45 minutes until fluffy). Measure out a 0.5 cup serving per plate.
Once the chicken and carrots are done, slice the chicken breast if desired, then serve alongside the fluffy brown rice. Optionally, squeeze a bit more fresh lemon juice over the top for an extra burst of flavor.
