PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  Dice the chicken breast, broccoli florets, and red bell pepper into uniform one-inch pieces to ensure even cooking.

  In a mixing bowl, toss the chicken and vegetables with 0.25 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 18 to 20 minutes.

• 5

  While the chicken roasts, combine the dry basmati rice and water in a small saucepan and bring to a gentle boil.

• 6

  Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 12 minutes until the water is fully absorbed.

• 7

  Remove the rice from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork and stirring in the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped parsley.

• 8

  Portion the zesty herb rice onto a plate and top it with the roasted chicken and vegetables.
