INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Thigh (Boneless, Skinless)
1/2 cup Cooked Brown Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro, chopped
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Chili Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Pat dry the chicken thigh with a paper towel. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken thigh, ensuring a good coat for maximum flavor and crispiness.
Place the seasoned chicken thigh on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Optionally, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the rice. In a small saucepan, gently warm the cooked brown rice, then stir in chopped fresh cilantro and an extra splash of lime juice.
Once the chicken is done, serve it over or alongside the fresh cilantro lime rice.
Garnish with additional cilantro and a squeeze of lime if desired, and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
