Instructions
- Make the marinade by combining the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh thyme, oregano, and basil in a large zip-lock bag. Add the chicken breasts, then seal and refrigerate for 1 hour. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
- Cook the chicken by heating an OVENPROOF large skillet over medium-high heat that has been coated with cooking spray.
- Add the chicken breasts to the HOT skillet and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the chicken over and place it into the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
- Prepare the garlic rice in a large saucepan while the chicken is baking. Click the link up above for the recipe.
- Prepare the vegetables while the chicken and rice are cooking by heating a large skillet over medium-low heat with olive oil. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Side Note: If the pan and onion get dry, add a bit more olive oil or water and toss to coat evenly. Continue cooking until caramelized.
- Once the onion is caramelized, add the grape tomatoes and cook until just about to burst, about 5 minutes. Add the baby spinach, then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
- Prepare the rice bowl by placing a big scoop of garlic rice in a bowl. Add some sliced chicken along with some spinach and tomato sauté.
- Top with some toasted pine nuts, feta cheese, and fresh parsley. Serve with additional lemon wedges if needed. Enjoy.
