Roasted Lemon Herb Chicken with Fluffy Rice Pilaf
Delight in tender roasted lemon herb chicken paired with a fragrant, fluffy rice pilaf. The chicken is marinated in a zesty blend of lemon and fresh herbs, then perfectly roasted, while the rice pilaf is gently sautéed with garlic and a hint of olive oil, creating a balanced and appetizing meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (juiced and zested)
1 Garlic Clove
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine the juice and zest of the half lemon, minced garlic, chopped parsley, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Mix in half of the olive oil to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and coat evenly with the lemon herb marinade. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a small saucepan, then add the cooked brown rice. Gently toss the rice in the oil to warm it and infuse the flavor.
Transfer the marinated chicken to a baking dish and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Plate the roasted chicken alongside a serving of the warmed rice pilaf and garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
