Lemon-Herb Roasted Chicken with Rice
Tender chicken breast roasted with zesty lemon and aromatic herbs, served over fluffy basmati rice and crisp asparagus for a vibrant, wholesome meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
0.75 cup Cooked basmati rice
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp Lemon zest
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
Place the chicken and the trimmed asparagus spears onto the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil and fresh lemon juice over the chicken and asparagus, tossing the vegetables slightly to coat.
Roast in the oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
While the chicken rests for a few minutes, warm the pre-cooked basmati rice in a small pan or microwave until steaming.
Serve the sliced chicken and roasted asparagus over the fluffy rice, finishing the dish with a sprinkle of fresh lemon zest for a bright pop of flavor.
