Chef's Note
For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken in a tablespoon of lemon juice and a crushed garlic clove for 15 minutes before breading. If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked microwaveable brown rice to cut down on prep time.

Ingredients
10 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried Italian herbs
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 large egg
3/4 cup brown rice
2 cups broccoli florets
1/2 medium lemon
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Cook 3/4 cup of brown rice according to package instructions (typically 1 part rice to 2 parts water, simmered for 20-25 minutes).
- 3
In a shallow bowl, mix 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried Italian herbs, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- 4
In another bowl, beat 1 large egg.
- 5
Pat the 10 oz chicken breast dry with paper towels. If the chicken breast is very thick, slice it horizontally to create two thinner pieces for more even cooking.
- 6
Dip the chicken in the beaten egg, then coat thoroughly in the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- 7
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil.
- 8
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- 9
While the chicken bakes, steam 2 cups of broccoli florets for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
- 10
Slice 1/2 lemon into wedges for serving.
- 11
Serve the baked chicken with brown rice and steamed broccoli, with lemon wedges on the side.
