INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 Lemon
1 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 cup Long Grain White Rice (cooked)
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1/4 small Onion
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice from half a lemon, olive oil, and the mixed fresh herbs.
Place the chicken breast on a baking tray and brush generously with the lemon-herb marinade. Let it rest for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked and juices run clear.
While the chicken is roasting, heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant.
Add the rice to the saucepan and stir briefly before pouring in the low-sodium chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cover the pan. Reduce heat and cook until the rice is tender and liquid absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the sliced chicken on a bed of fluffy rice pilaf, garnished with a light drizzle of any remaining lemon-herb marinade if desired.
