Serves: 4
·
1 cup long-grain white rice
·
4 scallions, thinly sliced, plus more for
serving
·
2 red chili peppers or jalapeños, (seeded for
less heat, if desired), thinly sliced

·
4 6-oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Lemon
chili chicken
1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Cook the rice according to package
directions. Tear off four 12-in. squares of parchment paper.
2. Divide the scallions, peppers and lemon among the squares. Brush the
chicken with the mustard and season with ½ tsp each salt and pepper; place on
top of the lemon and scallions.
3. Drizzle the chicken with 1 tbsp oil. Bring the parchment ends
together and twist to seal and form loose packets. Place on a baking sheet and
roast until the chicken is cooked through, 15 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, on a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the asparagus with
the remaining tbsp oil and season with ¼ tsp each salt and pepper. Roast (on
the rack below the chicken) until golden brown and tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
5. Carefully open the packets (hot steam will escape). Serve the
chicken and vegetables with the asparagus and rice. Sprinkle with additional
scallions, if desired.
