INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Long Grain White Rice
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs (Thyme, Rosemary, Oregano)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped fresh herbs. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour the lemon herb mixture over it, ensuring the chicken is well coated.
Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the rice pilaf.
Cook the long grain white rice according to package instructions until fluffy. If desired, stir in a bit of salt and a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.
Place the marinated chicken on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and lightly golden.
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the roasted lemon herb chicken alongside the fluffy rice pilaf.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
