INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

0.25 cup brown rice

0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1 cup broccoli florets

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.25 cup water

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.

• 3

  Place the seasoned chicken on the baking sheet, drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil, and roast for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 4

  While the chicken is roasting, combine the dry brown rice, chicken broth, and water in a small saucepan over high heat.

• 5

  Bring the rice mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 40-45 minutes until the liquid is fully absorbed.

• 6

  During the last 5 minutes of the rice cooking, steam the broccoli florets in a steamer basket until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

• 7

  Once the chicken has finished roasting, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.

• 8

  Fluff the seasoned rice with a fork and serve it in a bowl topped with the sliced chicken and a side of steamed broccoli.
