INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
1/2 cup Cooked Brown Basmati Rice
1/4 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Mixed Herbs (Thyme & Rosemary)
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, mix the juice of half a lemon, olive oil, and chopped fresh herbs.
Lightly score the chicken breast and coat it well with the lemon-herb mixture. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Place the chicken breast on a baking tray and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken roasts, finely dice the onion and mince the garlic. In a small saucepan, lightly sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat with a few drops of olive oil until softened.
Add the pre-cooked brown basmati rice and chicken broth to the saucepan. Stir well and allow it to gently simmer for 5 minutes until the flavors meld together and the broth is mostly absorbed.
Serve the roasted lemon chicken atop a bed of fluffy rice pilaf, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
