INGREDIENTS
4 ounces skinless chicken breast
0.75 cup cooked brown rice
8 spears asparagus
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon mixed dried herbs
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, mixed dried herbs, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in a baking dish and brush generously with the lemon herb mixture. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Arrange the asparagus spears on a baking tray, drizzle the remaining herb mixture over them, and toss gently to coat evenly.
Place both the chicken and asparagus in the oven. Roast the chicken for 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F) and the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until crisp-tender and lightly browned.
While the chicken and asparagus roast, prepare the brown rice according to package instructions to achieve a fluffy texture.
Plate the roasted chicken with a serving of brown rice and top with the crispy roasted asparagus. Serve warm and enjoy the balanced medley of flavors.
