INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
1/2 Lemon
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1/2 cup Cooked Basmati Rice
1/4 small Yellow Onion
50 ml Low Sodium Chicken Broth
2 sprigs Fresh Herbs (Rosemary/Thyme)
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, mix the juice of half a lemon, olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the chicken breast on a baking sheet and generously brush the lemon herb mixture on both sides of the chicken.
Roast the chicken in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Meanwhile, finely dice the onion and sauté in a small saucepan with a dash of olive oil until softened.
Add the basmati rice to the pan, stirring to coat with the onion and oil, then pour in the chicken broth and a splash of water if needed. Cover and simmer until the rice is fluffy and liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Once the chicken is roasted, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve a portion of the sliced chicken alongside a serving of fluffy rice pilaf, garnished with the roasted herbs if desired.
