Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken with Rice
Oven-roasted chicken breast infused with zesty lemon and aromatic herbs, served over fluffy basmati rice alongside crisp-tender asparagus for a bright and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked basmati rice
1 cup asparagus spears
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 clove garlic
0.5 tsp dried oregano
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.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breast and the trimmed asparagus spears on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the lemon-herb mixture evenly over both the chicken and the asparagus to coat them thoroughly.
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.
While the chicken is roasting, gently reheat the pre-cooked basmati rice until fluffy.
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
Serve the sliced chicken over the bed of rice with the roasted asparagus on the side, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the top.
