INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
0.75 cup cooked Brown Basmati Rice
0.5 oz Toasted Pine Nuts
0.5 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
0.5 cup Fresh Herb Medley (Parsley, Basil, Mint)
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil to the pan.
Toast the pine nuts in the skillet for 2-3 minutes until they turn light golden, then remove and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper. In the same skillet, cook the chicken breast over medium-high heat until cooked through and lightly browned on both sides, about 6-7 minutes per side. Once done, allow it to rest and then dice into bite-sized pieces.
In a medium saucepan, reheat the cooked brown basmati rice over low heat. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and chopped herb medley.
Gently fold in the diced chicken breast and toasted pine nuts into the rice mixture, combining all flavors.
Taste and adjust seasonings with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired. Serve warm.
