INGREDIENTS

5 oz Chicken breast

0.5 cup Cooked brown rice

1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

1 cup Broccoli florets

1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice

1 tsp Dried oregano

0.5 tsp Garlic powder

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

1 tsp Fresh parsley

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

• 3

  Place the chicken breast on the prepared baking sheet and brush both sides generously with the lemon-herb mixture.

• 4

  Roast the chicken in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is lightly golden.

• 5

  While the chicken is roasting, steam the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 5 minutes until they are tender-crisp and vibrant green.

• 6

  Warm the pre-cooked brown rice in a small saucepan with a splash of water or in the microwave until steaming.

• 7

  Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips to keep the meat juicy.

• 8

  Plate the fluffy brown rice, top with the sliced chicken, and serve alongside the steamed broccoli, finishing with a garnish of fresh chopped parsley.
