Lemon Garlic Chicken with Roasted Sweet Plantains and Fluffy White Rice
Enjoy tender lemon garlic chicken paired with naturally sweet, roasted plantains and a bed of fluffy white rice. This well-balanced dish offers bright, zesty flavors combined with the comforting textures of perfectly roasted ingredients.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
100 g Sweet Plantain
1/2 cup cooked White Rice
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, peel the sweet plantain and slice it into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Toss the slices lightly with a pinch of salt and a few drops of olive oil.
Place the plantain slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden and tender, flipping once halfway.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken breast for 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and lightly browned. Alternatively, you can bake the chicken in the oven for about 20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Prepare the white rice according to package instructions (if not pre-cooked) or reheat if already cooked.
Plate the dish by placing a serving of fluffy white rice, topping it with the lemon garlic chicken, and arranging the roasted sweet plantain slices on the side.
Serve warm and enjoy a balanced meal bursting with citrusy and savory flavors.
