INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Long Grain White Rice
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (juiced)
1 Garlic Clove (minced)
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
1/4 medium Onion (diced)
1/4 medium Carrot (diced)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in a baking dish and coat it evenly with the lemon herb mixture. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Meanwhile, prepare the rice pilaf by lightly sautéing diced onion and carrot in a pan with a little olive oil until softened.
Gently fold in the cooked long grain white rice and warm through. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Slice the roasted chicken and serve it atop or beside the fluffy rice pilaf. Garnish with additional parsley or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
