Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken with Rice
Tender chicken breast roasted with zesty lemon and fragrant herbs, served over nutty brown rice with crisp-tender asparagus for a bright and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 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
0.5 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 large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breast and the trimmed asparagus spears on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the lemon-herb marinade over the chicken and asparagus, using a brush or your hands to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Roast in the center of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the asparagus is tender and slightly charred.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
Fluff the warm cooked brown rice and place it in a bowl, then top with the sliced chicken and roasted asparagus to serve.
