Fresh Herb Roasted Chicken Breast

Ingredients

• 4 halves boneless skinless chicken breast
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tbsp thyme
• 1 tbsp oregano
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp coarsely ground pepper
• 1 cup long-grain rice
• 2 cups water
• 1 small shallot
• 1 tsp garlic-infused oil
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium carrot
• 2 tbsp parsley
• 1 tbsp fresh chives
• 0.5 bell pepper green bell pepper

Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, toss chicken breasts with 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
2. 2While chicken roasts, combine long-grain rice, water, minced shallot, and garlic-infused oil in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is tender.
3. 3Steam broccoli florets, diced carrot, and diced green bell pepper with the remaining 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
4. 4Serve the roasted chicken breast immediately with the cooked rice and steamed vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley and chives.
