INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 medium Lemon (zest and juice)
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tablespoon Mixed Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Thyme, Rosemary)
1/4 medium Onion, diced
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Pat the chicken breast dry and place it in a small bowl. Add the juice and zest of one lemon, one teaspoon olive oil, minced garlic, and the mixed fresh herbs. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, rinse the brown rice. In a small saucepan, heat the remaining teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until softened, then add the rice and toast for 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cover and let cook over low heat until the rice is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes.
Place the marinated chicken breast on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Plate the roasted chicken alongside a serving of the fluffy rice pilaf. Garnish with extra fresh herbs and a light drizzle of lemon juice, if desired.
