Baked Lemon Herb Chicken with Fluffy Rice Pilaf
Savor this light yet satisfying dish featuring tender baked lemon herb chicken paired beautifully with a fluffy rice pilaf. The zesty lemon and aromatic herbs provide a burst of flavor, while the pilaf is perfectly cooked to complement the protein-rich chicken.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
3/4 cup cooked White Rice
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 medium Lemon
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Dried Thyme
1/2 cup Chicken Broth (low-sodium)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, juice from the half lemon, minced garlic, dried thyme, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in a baking dish and spoon the lemon herb mixture over it, ensuring it is well coated.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the rice pilaf. In a small pot, combine the 3/4 cup cooked white rice with the chicken broth. Gently warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the rice absorbs the broth and becomes fluffy.
Plate the chicken breast alongside a serving of rice pilaf, and garnish with a little extra fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
