INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Steamed Green Beans
1 tsp Olive Oil (marinade)
1 tsp Olive Oil (for green beans)
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp Fresh Thyme, chopped
1 tsp Fresh Rosemary, chopped
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon olive oil (for the marinade), minced garlic, chopped thyme, and rosemary. Mix well.
Place the chicken breast on a baking tray and rub the lemon herb mixture evenly over the chicken.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is roasting, prepare the rice pilaf. Warm the cooked brown rice in a small saucepan. You can add a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
In a separate skillet over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon olive oil (for green beans) and lightly sauté the green beans until they are tender yet remain crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
Plate the roasted chicken alongside a serving of warmed rice pilaf and crispy green beans. Garnish with any remaining fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.
