Savor the comforting union of tender chicken, aromatic basmati pilaf, and a colorful medley of roasted root vegetables. With a light spiced kick and a warm, hearty finish, this dish brings balanced textures and flavors that make it a satisfying meal any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
150 grams Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Basmati Rice
1 medium Carrot
1 small Parsnip
1/4 medium Red Onion (quartered)
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Mixed Spices (paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Season the chicken breast with half of the mixed spices. In a hot skillet over medium-high heat, sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
While the chicken sears, toss the chopped carrots, parsnip, and quartered red onion in olive oil and the remaining spices.
Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, prepare the basmati pilaf: if not already cooked, cook the basmati rice according to package instructions, using water and a pinch of salt.
Once the chicken is seared, finish cooking it in the oven (if desired) for an additional 8-10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, or serve sliced atop the pilaf.
To plate, spoon a serving of basmati rice onto the plate, top with sliced tender spiced chicken, and surround with roasted root vegetables.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
