Savor the bright flavors of lemon and fresh herbs accentuating tender roasted chicken paired with a delicate, fluffy rice pilaf. This balanced dish is light yet satisfying, bringing a blend of zesty citrus and aromatic herbs in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Basmati Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1/4 medium Red Onion (quartered)
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, mix the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped mixed herbs along with salt and black pepper.
Place the chicken breast in a baking dish and pour the lemon herb mixture over it, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Meanwhile, prepare the rice pilaf. In a small saucepan, lightly sauté the quartered red onion in a tiny drizzle of olive oil until translucent.
Add the cooked basmati rice to the saucepan and gently mix in the remaining chopped herbs and a pinch of salt, warming through.
Plate the roasted chicken alongside a serving of the warm, fluffy rice pilaf and garnish with an extra squeeze of fresh lemon if desired.
