INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Cooked Basmati Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
1 clove Garlic
1/4 portion Red Onion
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine the juice of half a lemon, 1 tsp olive oil, minced garlic, and finely chopped fresh herbs. Add a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Place the 4 oz chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a small pan over medium heat and add the remaining chopped red onion with a splash of olive oil. Sauté until translucent.
Add the pre-cooked basmati rice to the pan, stirring gently to combine with the onions and herbs. Squeeze an extra bit of lemon juice over the rice for added brightness.
Transfer the marinated chicken to a baking tray and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked and the juices run clear.
Once cooked, slice the chicken and serve it on a bed of the fluffy rice pilaf. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
