          • 3 garlic cloves, minced<\/li>\n

            Instructions<\/h2>\n

            1. Roast the Potatoes<\/h3>\n

            Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C)<\/strong>, or 180\u00b0C fan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

            Place the halved baby potatoes in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, minced garlic, thyme or Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.<\/p>\n

            Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 30\u201335 minutes<\/strong>, turning them halfway through, until golden and crisp around the edges and tender in the center.<\/p>\n

            2. Cook the Rice<\/h3>\n

            Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear.<\/p>\n

            Add the rice, water or chicken stock, and salt to a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 12\u201315 minutes<\/strong>, or according to the package directions.<\/p>\n

            Remove from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then stir in the butter and fresh parsley.<\/p>\n

            3. Prepare the Broccoli<\/h3>\n

            Steam the broccoli florets for 4\u20135 minutes<\/strong>, until tender but still bright green and slightly crisp.<\/p>\n

            Toss with olive oil and a small pinch of salt.<\/p>\n

            4. Season and Cook the Chicken<\/h3>\n

            Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. If they are very thick, gently pound the thicker portions so they cook evenly.<\/p>\n

            Season both sides with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.<\/p>\n

            Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for approximately 4\u20136 minutes per side<\/strong>, depending on thickness.<\/p>\n

            Cook until the center reaches 165\u00b0F (74\u00b0C)<\/strong>. Transfer the chicken to a plate or cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n
