INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Cooked White Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Lemon (juice and zest)
1 Garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup diced Onion
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 tbsp Fresh Thyme, chopped
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine the juice and zest of the lemon, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper.
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and brush both sides with the lemon herb mixture.
Place the chicken breast on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the exterior becomes lightly crispy.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the rice pilaf. In a medium saucepan, lightly sauté the diced onion in a teaspoon of olive oil until translucent.
Add the cooked white rice to the pan, stirring to combine with the onions and any remaining aromatics. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Plate the rice pilaf as the base, then slice the crispy lemon herb chicken over the top. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced and flavorful meal.
