Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken with Fluffy Rice Pilaf
Savor the bright, zesty flavors of lemon and fresh herbs paired with tender roasted chicken, all served alongside a light, aromatic rice pilaf. This dish is beautifully balanced with a burst of citrus, perfectly roasted chicken, and a delicately fluffy rice base infused with onions and garlic.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked long grain white rice
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
1/4 medium yellow onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 lemon (zest and juice)
1 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp mixed fresh herbs
Salt & pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking tray.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, mixed fresh herbs, salt, and pepper.
Pat the chicken breast dry and rub the herb mixture thoroughly over the chicken.
Place the chicken on the baking tray and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken roasts, heat a small saucepan over medium heat and add a dash of olive oil.
Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until they turn translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the cooked rice and chicken broth to the saucepan, stirring to combine.
Simmer the pilaf on low heat for 5-7 minutes until the flavors meld and the liquid is mostly absorbed. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Slice the roasted chicken and serve it over or alongside the fluffy rice pilaf.
