Lemon Herb Chicken with Brown Rice
Pan-seared chicken breast infused with zesty lemon and aromatic oregano, served over nutty brown rice and crisp-tender roasted asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked brown rice
1 cup asparagus spears
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
Heat half of the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the surface is golden brown.
While the chicken cooks, toss the asparagus spears with the remaining olive oil and a pinch of salt, then sauté in a separate pan or roast at 400°F for 8 minutes until crisp-tender.
Once the chicken is finished, reduce heat to low and pour the fresh lemon juice and zest over the chicken, turning it once to coat and deglaze the pan.
Warm the pre-cooked brown rice and plate it alongside the roasted asparagus.
Slice the lemon-herb chicken and serve it over the rice, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the top.
