INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
1/4 cup chopped Red Onion
1 tbsp Fresh Rosemary (chopped)
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, mix lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Pat the chicken breast dry and rub the marinade evenly over the chicken. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken roasts, prepare the rice pilaf. In a small saucepan, sauté the chopped red onion in a tiny bit of olive oil until softened.
Add the cooked brown rice to the saucepan, stirring to combine with the onions. If needed, add a splash of water or low-sodium broth to keep the rice moist and warm.
Season the rice lightly with salt and pepper and stir in the chopped fresh parsley for brightness.
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Plate the sliced chicken alongside a serving of the fluffy rice pilaf and garnish with additional parsley if desired.
