INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Thyme and Parsley)
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper
PREPARATION
Begin by rinsing the chicken breast and patting dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, chopped fresh herbs, and minced garlic to create a zesty marinade.
Coat the chicken breast with the marinade and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the brown rice according to package instructions, ensuring it's fluffy and tender.
Preheat your skillet over medium-high heat and add half of the olive oil. Sear the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and lightly golden.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the asparagus with the remaining olive oil, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and spread evenly on a baking tray. Roast for about 10 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
Once all components are ready, plate the chicken breast alongside a serving of brown rice and roasted asparagus. Optionally, drizzle any leftover pan juices over the chicken for extra flavor.
